Higher Blackley
North Manchester's greenest corner — Boggart Hole Clough and beyond
Overall
Higher Blackley is about as suburban as Manchester gets. Surrounded by green space including Boggart Hole Clough and Heaton Park on its border, it feels more like a small town than part of a major city. Property is affordable, space is generous, and there's a genuine village feel.
