Good areas in Greater Manchester to live in?

If you can maybe consider looking at Cheshire or Altrincham( good met links). It is relatively easy to commute into the city centre on the train or you can drive in - depending where you are driving/ catching the train from it will a hour at the most. When I lived in Macclesfield it took 40 mins by car, and a little over a hour from Nantwich. But if you catch the train you will be laughing.

Areas to consider

Altrincham
Nantwich
Macclesfield
Wimslow
Alderley Edge
Middlewich
Winsford

I found this site which is offering family homes in Cheshire though

Don't listen to people that bad mouth Manchester, they obviously do not live there and know absolutely nothing about what it is really like to live in certain places.

I am biased, because i live there, but i would say good places for a family to live is Marple or Marple Bridge, nearby to good schools, near to Manchester city center, near to Stockport, 2 train stations,parks, canal, shops, etc...

i live in manchester- i would recommend disbury, levenshulme, whitington, heaton chapel, reddish, whalley range, followfield,most of stockport areas, cheadle...thats it really

There are plenty of nice places in Greater Manchester for families to live in, please ignore the witless wonders who are wittering on about 'going out after dark.'

Some family kinda areas;
Didsbury
Cheadle
Bramhall
Withington
Burnage

There are also plenty of nice places nearer to the centre of Manchester, although alot of them are very student populated

i'd say altrincham, alderly edge (though i think thats cheshire), saddleworth in oldham and some parts of tameside are ok

Search an area by house price. Over 500k and you should ensure good schools and low crime rates. Avoid anywhere with a Lidl store.

'Insert name here'

Try a town called Stalybridge, good communting to manchester (train route) 15 mins to piccadilly and very nice, also Cheshire post code :P hehe...
if not look at
Bramhall, Marple, Cheadle, Lees, Mossley, Dane Bank, Edegly, Glossop, Chorlton,

Manchester is one of the worst places in the UK to live.

Levenshulme is on the A6 between Manchester and Stockport. It is always choked with traffic. There is nothing there but run down hovels selling phone cards for cheap calls to Pakistan.

Withington is full of students.

Whalley Range is next door to Moss Side. Look, someone has gone out after dark....too late.. they've got him!

Didsbury. Overpriced, full of students and drunks at the weekend.

The only areas worth living, you need a footballers wage to live there. Bramhall, Hale, Bowdon, Alderly Edge and Prestbury. Move anywhere else and you'll regret it.

Manchester has no culture apart from Gun Culture!! Don't make the mistake of moving there!
