Miles Platting sits between the city centre and Newton Heath, undergoing steady regeneration. New housing and improved infrastructure are changing the area, though it retains a gritty, urban character. Its biggest asset is price β€” some of Manchester's lowest rents and property prices, yet the NQ is a 15-minute walk.
