The Northern Quarter life
The Northern Quarter’s streets are lined with bohemian clothing stores, record shops, independent cafes, bars and restaurants. In the evening, bars buzz with people, and you can hear live music and performances at local venues. This area is excellent for people looking for somewhere with more charm and character.

The Northern Quarter properties
In the Northern Quarter, you can discover some of the unique apartments in Manchester. Take a look at those designed by Conran at 25 Street or the Smithfield Building – where the first £300,000 apartment in the city was sold!
As well as luxury apartments, you’ll find a variety of beautiful townhouses hidden away down side streets.
