Chorlton is Manchester's answer to the village lifestyle. Independent shops, brunch spots, delis and pubs line Beech Road and Barlow Moor Road. Chorlton Water Park and Chorlton Ees provide green space. It attracts a creative, liberal, family-oriented crowd. Pricier than neighbours but worth it for the quality of life.
