Just a stones throw from Ancoats and New Islington marina we are surrounded by great food and drink options. Similarly Piccadilly train/ tram station is a 5 minute walk away meaning nowhere is out of reach from The Castings.

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

Very near to loads of shops, restaurants, bars, good places to walk dogs. Beautiful built up area, very short walk to picadilly, station the city centre and university of Manchester. Also very good transport link.

Very prompt, resolved any issues pretty much immediately. Haven’t really had any problems though

How much bills were going to be as I wasn’t sure and then found it a bit tricky to balance with rent too

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

Living in this area is quite convenient, there are plenty of things nearby like public transport and grocery stores. However, one must walk a few blocks to get to these places. The location is sufficiently isolated so that the chaos from the city centre isn't felt.

The building management are always very helpful and kind when it comes to any questions or problems we may have.

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

Some neighbours are not very respectful with the property, especially with the bin room.

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

The area is overall good, with a few local shops somewhat close and walking distance from the New Islington Marina. But, it lacks grocery stores closer than a five-minute walk and cafes that are good.

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

They have been really attentive, offering solutions immeadiately. They are always ready to answer any questions one might have, and to solve any given problems.

I wish I had known that the water pressure is not that strong, but that is my preference for a really strong system.
