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

Lots of supermarkets nearby meaning there is a variety of places to shop ranging from local grocery stores to big stores such as sainsbury and lidl. Most fast food places nearby, also restaurants like italian or turkish. Very convenient for public transportation, near a train station and a few bus stops nearby as well. Building had own bin store and parkung lot so it’s all managed by them.

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

Had a blocked pipe in my sink/dishwasher and stuart the maintenance guy, together with his colleague, quickly and efficiently unblocked it. Very friendly and quick.

Swan Street House is an absolute gem right on the edge of the Northern Quarter. The location couldn't be better you’re a short stroll from amazing coffee shops, bars, and food spots, plus getting around town is dead easy

How strong the sense of community is and how friendly everyone here is! The resident socials and organized events are a huge plus for meeting people. On top of that, the amenities are genuinely useful you actually end up using the gym and lounge spaces constantly, and the location makes getting around central Manchester and the Northern Quarter completely seamless.
