There are many benefits to choosing the city centre over the countryside, particularly if you enjoy living in a fast and vibrant environment. <b>Nightlife:</b> By buying or renting an apartment in the centre of the north’s hectic capital, you’re letting yourself in for a real treat when it comes to bars, clubs, pubs and restaurants. Whether chic urban cool is your thing, or you prefer slightly dingy bars with home brewed cider in the back, Manchester city centre can cater for you. The centre also has a huge selection of eateries, from popular chain restaurants to Armenian and Brazilian cuisine, clubs and traditional pubs, chock full of friendly Mancunians (honorary and authentic). <b>The Commute:</b> The Manchester commute can be a real nightmare, and isn’t set to ease off any time soon thanks to the recent rejection of a London-style congestion charge scheme. Thus, commute-wise the city centre is looking more attractive than ever, and with a host of brand new flats to rent and apartments for sale, there’s never been a better time to sample city living. <b>The World on your Doorstep:</b> Manchester doesn’t just boast a great nightlife, it also has excellent transport links, and with new apartment developments like <a href="http://www.thehubmanchester.co.uk/">The Hub</a> springing up around Piccadilly station, the world really is on your doorstep. Manchester has a domestic tram system and excellent bus services, with Oxford Road being one of the busiest bus routes in Europe. It also has a huge international airport just outside the ring road, which has regular rail and bus services running to it 24 hours a day. <b>Career Opportunities:</b> In these tough financial times, the cities really do win out over the satellite towns in terms of job opportunities. Despite the looming recession, there are still plenty of jobs available in Manchester city centre. With huge new business developments like Spinningfields located in the city centre and the BBC’s new home at Mediacity just a short tram ride away, there are still plenty of jobs to be had for city dwellers. |
