Located just north of the city centre moments from Victoria Station and AO Arena, Manchester’s Green Quarter is an appealing residential district in the throes of vibrant transformation. Originally known as Red Bank, the area was rebranded to attract more investment. The residential area now offers a charming combination of immediate access to Manchester’s city centre, alongside independent cafes and shops, greenspace, and quietude.
The Green Quarter has been designed with nature in mind. Landscaped gardens, tree-lined walkways, and communal outdoor spaces are integral to the area’s appeal, providing residents with a welcome escape from the bustle of the city. The area boasts a mix of residential and commercial developments, with a strong emphasis on sustainability. Many new buildings incorporate eco-friendly features such as green roofs, energy-efficient systems, and extensive bicycle facilities—catering to the demands of modern urban dwellers.
Beyond the homes themselves, The Green Quarter offers everything residents need for a balanced lifestyle. Cafés, co-working spaces, fitness centres, and local shops are all within easy reach. Cultural landmarks such as Manchester Arena, the Northern Quarter, and Ancoats are just a short walk away, giving residents immediate access to the city’s best entertainment, dining, and nightlife.
For families or those seeking leisure and shopping, Manchester Fort Shopping Park and local health and education services are also close by.
The Green Quarter enjoys a prime position just minutes from Manchester Victoria Station, the Northern Quarter, and the bustling Arndale shopping centre. Despite its central location, the area retains a calm and spacious feel thanks to its thoughtful urban design and abundant greenery.
Commuters benefit from excellent public transport links, including nearby Metrolink stops, regular bus services, and easy road access to Greater Manchester and beyond.
Manchester’s Green Quarter, a former industrial area, has undergone substantial urban regeneration in the last 15-20 years. The majority of properties in the area are modern apartments, ranging from sleek one-bed units to spacious three-bedroom homes. Many come with balconies, secure parking, and amenities such as concierge services and on-site gyms, offering a premium lifestyle that balances comfort and convenience.
