Technically Salford, practically city centre. Greengate and the streets along Chapel Street sit just over the River Irwell from Manchester Cathedral and Spinningfields, close enough that many residents walk to work in the city, and buyers search for it as part of the centre.
It has also been one of the fastest-growing residential areas in Greater Manchester, with new towers at Greengate and a steady stream of developments along Chapel Street. That means plenty of choice for buyers and plenty of competition for sellers.
Living here
Salford Central station, the Trinity Bridge and the riverside walk put Spinningfields and Deansgate a few minutes away. Chapel Street has its own cafés and restaurants, and Peel Park and the University of Salford are a short walk west.
The homes
Mostly modern apartments, from the riverside developments of the 2000s to the new towers at Greengate, with townhouses on some of the streets behind Chapel Street. Many buildings have allocated parking, which is rarer on the Manchester side.
Selling here
Buyers here are often comparing your home with something across the river. We know how the two sides price against each other, and we make the case for the extra space and parking that Salford often offers.
Other areas we cover
Castlefield
Canal basins, Victorian viaducts and warehouse apartments at the calm end of Deansgate.
Deansgate & Spinningfields
Spinningfields, King Street and the riverside, at the prime heart of the city centre.
First Street & Southern Gateway
First Street, the Great Jackson Street towers and Oxford Road: the newest part of the centre.
