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

Living in Ancoats, especially in a flat, offers a dynamic urban lifestyle. Without the need for bin collections, residents can enjoy the simplicity of apartment living. While parking may come at a premium, the vibrant atmosphere and abundance of amenities more than make up for it. Exploring the area on foot is a joy, with the marina nearby providing a picturesque backdrop for leisurely walks. And despite parking fees, the convenience of having a car in the city center adds to the flexibility of getting around.
