This is my favourite area of Manchester with such lovely walks as well as cafes, restaurants and unique and beautiful shops. Only 15 minutes from northern quarter so very central but still away from any loud noise which makes it feel safe and homey

Very quickly and efficiently and helped with any concerns I had

Nothing - it was a new build so a few things we had to find out once living here such as bills and council tax estimate but the building manager and staff have done a great job of keeping us informed and answering any queries

We appreciate the convenient location of the apartment, which is only a 5-minute walk to the train station and a quick half-hour journey to London from the train station. The local area is safe and offers many excellent restaurants and shops. The apartment's windows effectively filter out train and traffic noise ensuring a quiet living environment.

Overall, living at the Almere has been a smooth experience. There are plenty of high-quality shops and restaurants nearby to suit any mood. Whether you're after a quick bite or a fancy meal, there's no shortage of options. The green spaces are lovely, with places like Willen Lake providing a great spot to unwind. Bin collections are generally reliable, and anti-social behaviour doesn’t seem to be an issue. Most streets feel quiet and safe, though some roads can get a bit noisy. The train station is convenient for London trips, making commuting easy. All in all, it’s a comfortable place to live.

We only did the viewing online since we were moving from abroad, but the process was smooth and hassle-free. The online viewing service provided was clear and well-organized, giving us a good feel for the apartment despite not seeing it in person. We had no issues throughout the experience, and the platform made it easy to explore the property remotely.

The location of the Almere is second to none! Sainsbury's is across the street and we're surrounded by restaurants and bars of all cuisines and budget. The road links are great to get in an out of the City via car, plus one of the best Malls in the country is in walking distance. Its quite at night with no road or City noise and it feels safe to walk around at night too. The garage underneath provides excellent parking plus there's electric chargers for vehicles too.

The Building Management team have been amazing and have gone way beyond the norm to help us settle in and answer any questions we have. They are so genuine and friendly and it resonates in the environment and atmosphere within the Almere building.

The unit doesn't come with a microwave (but maybe that's normal in the UK?)
