Looking for an estate agent in Manchester?

Life in Manchester

Whether you're looking to grab a bite at the Corn Exchange or in the Northern Quarter, or find a gig at Gorilla, Band on the Wall, the Albert Hall, or YES — Manchester is known for its nightlife, packed with independent restaurants and venues.

Of course, the footies among you may be aware that there are two — yes, two — major clubs, with Manchester City and Manchester United both calling the area home (and don't miss the National Football Museum, a must for all real fans).

Great for families

For young families — or couples starting to think about schools — Manchester has a lot to offer. Primaries like New Islington Free School, St Ann's RC Primary School, Ashbury Meadow Primary School and Abbott Community Primary School, all come with great reviews and high ratings, and their secondary schools shine too. There are a range of grammar schools — including Manchester Grammar School, William Hulme's Grammar School, Stretford Grammar School and Withington High School for Girls — and outstanding-rated comprehensives like Trinity CofE High School, The King David High School, Melland High School and Levenshulme High School.

A university hub

Of course, you can't forget the universities. Manchester has a thriving student population, which helps ensure the city's dynamic edge, and The University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University both draw students from around the country and around the world. There's also the celebrated Royal Northern College of Music, and other major universities in the area — University of Salford, University of Bolton and University Academy 92 , just to name a few.

As you can see, there are a lot of reasons people love to live in Manchester — and a lot of reasons Strike is proud to be a Manchester estate agent.
