Hi all

DP and I are thinking about moving to Manchester in c.3 or so years, when I finish my training contract (subject to us both getting jobs etc.) DP really wants to live in Chorlton because it's 'naice' (do people still say that on Mumsnet?) but I would rather live in nearby Levenshulme because we could buy a house -rather than a flat - for less money.

I keep looking at this terraced house and thinking about how I would keep the pink living room and maintain the garden. A friend of a friend bought a house in Levenshulme - and she's a single woman! DP and I currently live in London in a rented flat, so the idea of buying an entire house for under £230k makes my head spin (even though Mancunians tell me that is steep for Manchester!)

Thank you @ChefsKisser and great name! I find it crazy that Levenshulme could be called a suburb when it looks so close to the city centre!

That is very useful, thank you. Have you always lived in Manchester?

Levenshulme is nice but more of a gritty suburb! Chorlton is nice it has great schools, loads of families if you’re planning on kids and feels very safe. It is £££ so I’d look at Whalley Range or Old Trafford where you get a lot more for your money!
