Old Moat

Between Withington and Fallowfield — the quieter student belt

5.5

Overall

ResidentialStudent-adjacentQuiet
Best for: StudentsBest for: Young Professionals

Old Moat sits between Withington and Fallowfield, sharing some student character but feeling calmer than Fallowfield proper. A mix of students, families and young professionals. Good value for the area, with Withington's village shops a short walk away.
