The Castings is super close to Piccadilly station and only a few minutes walk from town. Being close to the marina also makes for great vibes.

Living in Ancoats has been great. The location is super convenient, with everything from bars to open green spaces nearby. There are loads of great restaurants, and it’s all within walking distance. Public transport is accessible, and I’ve not experienced any major issues. I don’t use parking myself, but bin collection has been reliable. I haven’t had any problems with anti-social behaviour or traffic noise either – I’ve only heard of isolated issues from others. Overall, it’s a peaceful and well-situated place to live.

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

Building management has been prompt and communicative. They’ve sent out timely emails regarding any building-wide concerns and have always handled things quickly whenever something has been raised. In my experience, they’re very approachable and proactive.

One thing I wish I had known before moving in is that the council tax band is higher than initially expected. This wasn’t on the management, but had I known it would be as high as it is, it might have influenced my decision. That said, the team is currently supporting the appeal process, which is helpful.

The parking is convenient and easy to access, bins are emptied regularly and the road noise is good for a city centre. There is rarely any ASB, only noise from students at the local college. Evenings can be noisy as it's near a lot of nightlife, but this doesn't get into the flat unless windows are open.

Good area to be in, close to town and about 15 minute walk to the train station. A couple of shops around like Tesco express and Sainsbury’s . During the week there are some coffee shops and bars open. No free parking around the area but there are some paid car parks. Plenty of places to eat and drink etc in the centre.

Dawn resolved all issues quickly and was really helpful

That there was no free/street parking close by which is difficult for having visitors
