Location is in the heart of Northern Quarter/Ancoats, close to bus/tram/train links and lots of bars and restaurants nearby! There is private parking under the building but also lots of fairly reasonable public parking nearby. There is a fair bit of noise outside from the local fire station & general busy-ness of town but that’s to be expected!

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Very quick response to maintenance concerns with some even being sorted same-day

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

About the events! They’re such a positive aspect of living here and the team put lots of thought and energy into setting them up

It is in a perfect location, offering the ideal balance of convenience and tranquility. Situated close to the city center, it's a short walk to both the Metrolink and Piccadilly bus station, providing excellent and reliable transport links. The local area is well-equipped with amenities, including a variety of shops, supermarkets, a shopping mall, and numerous restaurants, all within easy reach. The street is very quiet, and I've experienced no anti-social behaviour or traffic noise. The overall convenience and peaceful atmosphere make it a wonderful place to live.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The on-site management team's responsiveness to maintenance issues is impressive. My kitchen sink clogged earlier, and after I informed the management one afternoon, the maintenance technician, Dave, came the very next morning. He was incredibly professional, fixed the issue in just ten minutes, and was very friendly. This kind of prompt and effective service gives residents immense peace of mind.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is the rapid pace of residential development in the area. A significant number of new buildings have been constructed, which has resulted in less natural sunlight reaching my apartment and the surrounding area.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Very safe area. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Extremely convenient and social. Best of both worlds

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Could’ve been met with more concern. Had an issue with the door not locking and took a while to be sorted. Mostly okay with responding tho

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I didn’t know about the events which are reallly fun.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

There is a wide variety of facilities nearby. Ancoats is a fantastic place for a night out and there are supermarkets nearby. There are gyms nearby for exercise and plenty of bars + restaurants too. The only issue would be slightly noisy roads at night but this is only if windows are open!

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Any maintenance issues have been dealt with promptly and professionally.

The convenience of the location alongside the facilities available make broadside a fantastic spot to live for a young professional.
