Editorial fit: StudentsEditorial fit: Young Professionals

Southern Gateway covers the area south of the city centre towards Oxford Road — Manchester's main student corridor. It's dominated by the universities and Manchester Royal Infirmary. Lots of new residential development aimed at students and young professionals. Noisy, busy, but incredibly central.
