"Any advice about good and bad areas to live in Great Manchester?" It's a big place! Maybe you could narrow it down to the borough of GM you're interested in, e.g. Bolton, Wigan, Manchester etc. Within each borough town, there's good and less good, so we'd be here all day if talking about the entire GM area! | |||

" Yes, more details needed. I live in south Manchester in a very good area - obviously don't want to be too specific. House prices do reflect that, though. | |||

"Prestwich is a known Jewish area and heading up towards Bury it’s generally considered a decent area. Didsbury & Chorlton-Cum-Hardy where Cold Feet the TV Series was filmed and that has a good reputation. I had a friend who lived in Timperley and he never had any issues in that area either. Obviously you have Salford Quays or City Centre in both cases rents or buying are very high. Avoid Wythenshaw, Eccles, Failsworth, Droylsden, Denton, Sale and obviously Moss Side, if it looks rough it probably is. Admittedly I haven’t lived in Manchester for over a decade but when I did these places were known as being risky. " I'd largely agree with this, although I think Sale has a better reputation than that these days. Also consider parts of Stockport - although part of Cheshire, it's got some lovely areas and is easily commutable to Manchester. | |||

"You probably need to define what you mean by Manchester as Greater Manchester includes: Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, Wigan, and the cities of Salford and Manchester. If you want to narrow it down to the city of Manchester itself " From the reference of where they are now id say oldham/ rochdale but beaware of the snow in these parts. Bolton and wigan is roughly the same but it depends on where they are going. Yes they might be flat and if im honest here I hate the flat red brick areas. Sorry im yorkshire area which is stone and hilly with nice views. Even I missed the views when in the land of the red rose I was also the same with the seaside view as well. Just remember we might have 3 lanes yorkshire side of it but the other side of it only has 2. Both are a nightmare in rush hour traffic and the inner roads are worse as ive travelled them for many years. | |||

"Define what you are calling ‘good’ and ’bad’ ? That would be a good start. What you see as bad, may not be the same as me. I love being in an area where criminality is high. It makes me feel alive to know that I may die from gang violence " But at least the black aconomy is good and the price of knock of goods is cheep | |||

" Wigan isn't the only part of GM, dear fellow, and to get to Wigan from the Yorkshire end of the world means you bypass the vast majority of the surrounding towns so you wouldn't see! Are you suggesting that the West Pennine Moors that I can see from my house are at sea level?!?! | |||
