Northenden

Village on the Mersey — Manchester's riverside secret

VillageRiversideResidential

Editorial fit: FamiliesEditorial fit: River Lovers

Northenden has a genuine village identity centred around the River Mersey and a small high street. It's been gentrifying slowly — the new Didsbury Road development and proximity to East Didsbury Metrolink are pushing up demand. Still affordable for south Manchester, with a charming riverside setting.
