The property market in M2 3ET is largely rental-driven, with only 28% of residents owning their homes. This suggests a high demand for rental flats, which are the predominant accommodation type in the area.

The focus on flats indicates a need for space-efficient living, catering to students and young professionals who prioritise location over property size. For those considering purchasing, the area’s proximity to major transport hubs like Manchester Oxford Road Railway Station and Deansgate Station could be a selling point, though the high crime risk may deter some buyers.
