Weird place to post this I guess, but I'm moving to Manchester for work and would love to hear recommendations of where to live.
Working in Altrincham so would need to be central or south Manchester really.
I'd be so greatful if anyone has any info on areas to be/areas to avoid kind of thing  |

Altrincham, Sale, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Didsbury, Northenden and Withington all good for renting and have quite trendy bars and restaurants.
Wythenshawe used to be the biggest council estate in Europe at one point. Now a lot of houses in private hands plus a bit of new building development means cheapish rents.
If you have a bit of extra cash, look at Wilmslow, Hale, Alderley Edge and Knutsford.

"are you planning to drive or use public transport for your commute ?
"
Will be using public transport, so somewhere close to the metro/a train station is necessary. No idea how reliable buses are. |

"If you choose Chorlton, go top floor and get insurance. It is the most burgled suburb of Manchester.
But it is great  "
Haha, really selling it there!
Nah that's no problem really, kind of thing you take if you're living in a city I suppose. |

It may be worth exploring the idea of renting or sharing a flat in the city and commuting out to Altrincham if where you're working is close to the metrolink stops? A monthly ticket is £88. Didsbury, Sale, Altrincham are all pretty similar (if not higher) rent prices to city centre living, though City centre apartments will be purpose built instead of being converted Georgian and Victorian type houses. |
