New homes in Greater Manchester

Searching for a new home in the North West? You’ll be sure to find the right one for you in Manchester. Often referred to as the “Capital of the North”, Manchester is a proud, welcoming city with a great story to tell and an even better future ahead.  
We are proud to offer a range of new build homes in Manchester which put you in the ideal spots to enjoy everything this fantastic region has to offer.  

Why move to Greater Manchester? 

There has never been a better time to move to Greater Manchester, especially since it currently stands as the UK’s fastest growing city economy. Living here gives you access to excellent long-term career opportunities and great culture, all while being much more affordable than London and the South East. The area is also seeing investment from a near £2 billion 'Good Growth Fund' designed to fund green energy projects and better transport links, making it an attractive place to build your future.  
If you’re thinking of settling here, our new homes in Milnrow in Rochdale are a great option for your next move. Sitting right on the edge of beautiful open hills and just down the road from Hollingworth Lake, you’ll have the perfect spot for both catching the local sailing club in action and jumping on the tram into the city centre. 

What are the best things to do in Manchester? 

One of the best parts of living in Manchester is that you’ll have plenty of options to keep the whole family entertained. For a day out, you can easily head over to the Trafford Centre for a shopping trip and bite to eat, watch a match at Old Trafford or the Etihad Stadium, or take the kids to the LEGOLAND Discovery Centre and SEA LIFE Manchester. 
But you won’t always have to head into the city when you want to get out of the house as our new homes in Milnrow are right at the foot of the Pennines. From your new home, you can easily escape to the Piethorne Valley to walk the trails around the reservoirs and take in the hill views or visit Tandle Hill Country Park, the oldest park in Oldham, in Royton. Plus, because the Saddleworth hills and the Peak District sit right on this side of the county, you can drive up to Dovestone Reservoir for a weekend hike and a pub lunch in the sunshine.  

What is the transport like in Greater Manchester? 

Getting around Greater Manchester is easy thanks to its extensive transport network. The area has one of the best public transport networks outside of London, with regular trains, trams, and buses covering the entire county. In the city centre, Manchester Piccadilly and Victoria train stations offer fast links to cities all over the UK, including direct trains to London in just over two hours. 
If you're driving, getting around is straightforward too. The M62 runs right past Milnrow and Rochdale, connecting you directly to the M60, M56, and M6, so travelling across the North West or commuting into the city is easy. And when it’s time to head off for a much-needed family holiday, Manchester Airport connects you to over 200 destinations worldwide. 

What are the schools and work opportunities like in Greater Manchester? 

Greater Manchester has an economy that is growing quickly, especially across technology, finance, creative media, and healthcare. MediaCityUK over in Salford is a great example, as major broadcasters like the BBC and ITV sit alongside hundreds of creative agencies. 
Greater Manchester is the perfect place to raise a family too. You’ll have a variety of highly rated primary and secondary schools in the local area, and for the long term, you’ll be just a short journey away from the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University.
