Coming Soon - Southside Living

24 September 2009

In its Victorian heyday, Whalley Range on the outskirts of Manchester, was where the city’s wealthy industrialists set up residence in tall 19th century townhouses.

This leafy suburb, where age-old oak trees line Victorian terraced walkways, has been an official conservation area since 1991 and is currently enjoying a much deserved renaissance. Its close proximity to Manchester (just two miles from the city centre) puts Whalley Range on the radar for home buyers who enjoy all the trappings of city living but want to reside somewhere a little offbeat. The neighbouring suburbs of Didsbury and Chorlton have long been renowned for their trendy bars, chic café culture and quirky boutiques,adds to the appeal

Whalley Range is becoming an increasingly popular location for young professionals who enjoy the benefits of living close to the city as well as being close to the trendy south Manchester suburbs. It’s the best of both worlds really.

Crosby Lend Lease will be releasing Orban which overlooks Alexandra Park in the heart of Whalley Range.  Prices will be released in October 2009. This gated development of spacious one and two bedroom apartments will be completed by the end of the month and available for sale in October .
