I can’t say enough good things about Rob at the front desk! From day one, he has been incredibly welcoming, professional, and always ready to help. Whether it’s handling packages, answering questions, or just greeting everyone with a warm smile, he truly makes the building feel like home. Rob goes above and beyond to ensure residents feel comfortable and valued. His attention to detail and friendly attitude make all the difference.

Duet MediaCityUK, M50

Mar 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Salford Quays has a great mix of shops, restaurants, and bars, especially around MediaCityUK, so there’s always something going on. The waterfront and open spaces make it a nice place to live. Transport is super convenient, with a tram stop right outside that gets you into Manchester quickly.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The management team is usually quick to sort out any problems. Most issues get fixed within a few days, which is reassuring.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The on-site parking is expensive, but there are cheaper options nearby if you ask around. Also, there’s a strong dog community here, so if you have one (or like dogs), it’s easy to meet people.

Highly Recommended for Apartment City Living

Jack M (Tenant)

Verified Resident

Duet MediaCityUK, M50

Mar 2025

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

Duet is in a fantastic location, extremely close to MediaCityUK, sandwiched between two tram stops and a few surrounding bus stops, to allow for easy public transport access. The surrounding area also consists of local bars and cafes, and as mentioned above, is situated near MediaCityUK, which itself contains the Lowry shopping centre, multiple bars and restaurants, the Lowry theatre, and the Virgin Active gym. Traffic noise is minimal, and there is the occasional bit of noise/anti social behaviour in the surrounding area, mainly people setting off fireworks and riding around on bikes and Lime scooters, but this is probably typical of city living.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

We have had the odd issue within the apartments during our time there, nothing major however. Duet have always been prompt on issue resolution and all issues were remedied.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

This development does come with managed WiFi through Glide. I would say 99% of the time it is extremely good, and very good value for money. However with it being managed through another company, it can be a little frustrating and tricky to resolve issues when they arise (albeit infrequently).
