Why Location Is Key When Choosing a Manchester Luxury Apartment

For city dwellers, living in the right spot saves you time and makes space for convenience. A great location puts you closer to your workplace, university, your social hangouts, or gym, not stuck on buses or chasing trams. You’ll want cafés on your doorstep, dinner spots within a few minutes’ walk, and green space nearby when you need to switch off.

If you’re switching things up with a luxury lifestyle, your location should work just as hard as your apartment does. That means short commutes, easy access to events and nightlife, and the freedom to get around without hassle, all while feeling safe and connected.

Home to high-rise living, star restaurants, and great transport links, Deansgate puts you in the heart of the action. It’s ideal for anyone who wants a fast-paced lifestyle in the centre of the city.

Think sleek office towers, rooftop bars, and some of the best places to eat and drink. Neighbouring Deansgate, Spinningfields is a corporate hotspot paired with serious style, perfect for professionals in finance, law, or media.

Manchester’s coolest postcode. Ancoats has indie cafés, bakeries, art spaces and canalside vibes, all within walking distance of the Northern Quarter and the city centre.

This stretch is packed with innovation and academia. Home to major hospitals, research hubs and two universities, it’s great for medics, postgrads, and young professionals in science and tech.

A fast-growing neighbourhood that blends business, culture and convenience. First Street is home to co-working spaces, bars, theatres and, of course, Square Gardens. It’s a central, well-connected area with a strong community feel.

What to Look for in a Well-Located Luxury Apartment

There’s a long list that comes with finding the location that ticks more than one box. Explore areas that feel safe and walkable, with everything you need close by, whether that’s your office, campus, the tram stop, or your favourite gym.

It’s also worth paying attention to onsite facilities. Luxury apartments with their own co-working spaces, parcel rooms, bike storage, or 24/7 concierge can save you time (and money) in the long run. Square Gardens boasts all of these amenities on site *cough cough*. And being close to green spaces or running routes? That’s a win for your wellbeing, too. 

Why Square Gardens Has One of the Best Locations in Manchester

Square Gardens is right in the heart of the city on First Street, one of Manchester’s most buzzing neighbourhoods. You’re just a short walk from major employers, university campuses and Oxford Road station, not to mention a brilliant mix of bars, coffee shops, cultural venues and fitness studios that flood the area.

It’s central enough to stay connected, but tucked away just enough to feel like home. Combine that with beautifully designed apartments, private resident amenities, and a strong community feel, and you’ve got one of the best spots for luxury living in Manchester.
