There are many things to consider when buying a property, whether that is for you or as an investment. However, if we concentrate on homebuyers – especially those with families or who are buying property for their children to live in while abroad – the proximity to schools becomes one of the most important considerations of all.
In particular, those with educational needs at the top of the list are more likely to want a home close to quality universities and other higher education institutions. Proximity to universities is one of our main criteria when considering which properties to bring to market, and here we have showcased some of our currently available Manchester developments which are only a short journey to the local universities.
Oxygen
Oxygen is a 32-storey neighbourhood in Manchester’s popular New Islington district, located minutes from Piccadilly Station, Ancoats and the bustling, bohemian Northern Quarter. The development is complete, operational and the final apartments have been released – making this perfect for flats to buy in Manchester city centre.
As well as its convenient location a five-minute walk from Manchester’s busiest train station, Oxygen is also located two minutes from the New Islington Metrolink tram station which gives easy access to the city centre and, therefore, the local universities. If you prefer walking, Manchester’s universities are still only a short journey away by foot.
This makes the building an ideal place to live while studying, to get the most out of your education and city centre life.
