Manchester is of course, in our opinion, the best place to live in the country – maybe even the world – but where in Manchester is actually the best to have a full life, raise a family and enjoy the daily things? Now, research from Bell Financial Solutions has looked into data around the quality of schools, crime levels in the area, commuter times to the city centre, and affordability of homes, to find the best place to relocate if you are looking to raise your family in Manchester.
According to the research, searches for the ‘best place to live in Manchester for families‘ have risen by 50% in the last three months, and while many people in and around Manchester may claim that where they live is the best near the city, new research has shown that Altrincham actually holds the title for the best place to raise a family.
The best place in Manchester to raise a family
Altrincham topped the list of best places to raise a family in Manchester, boasting a £400k median sold price and a range of top Trafford schools within close proximity, including several rated Outstanding by Ofsted. The area also has solid links to the city centre with sub-30-minute commutes via the train or tram, as well as a medium to low crime rate.
Didsbury and Bramhall made up the rest of the top three, but were marked down due to a slightly higher crime rate in the former and expensive house prices in the latter.
The full table is below, with data pulled from Zoopla, Rightmove, Ofsted and Police UK.
