Levenshulme
Levenshulme is a vibrant area of Manchester with a bustling community and an exciting neighbourhood that’s continuing to evolve.
It’s frequently described as an up and coming neighbourhood with money being invested in the area for new homes and attraction spots too.
Suburban Levy, as it’s affectionately known to locals, is filled with Edwardian and Victorian properties, as well as lots of newer homes too.
Rushford Park is a conservation area, with large three and four bedroom homes sprawling on the Avenues of Park, Sylvandale and Central.
Streets near Highfield Country Park are lined with Victorian terraces that go for much lower prices compared to the above.
Levenshulme was originally part of Lancashire, but in 1909 became part of Manchester. It was previously known as a wealthy and middle class district, but suffered from a decline. Now there’s more and more money being put into the area, and with its artsy vibe is attracting more people to buy homes here.
Attractions & Activities
Whilst it may only be a small area of Manchester there’s still so much to see and do. The Levenshulme Old Library has been transformed into community centre with always something going on for the residents of the area. With baby classes, mum-to-be classes, yoga and theatre workshops. Levenshulme Inspire is another community-led organisation that is designed to promote the wellbeing of residents. Take part in workshops, enjoy parent and toddler classes or simply relax and have a bite to eat. There’s always something going on here that residents are always welcome to. Bankley Studios is a great place to take in art exhibitions and you really can’t miss The Street with No Name. The 160-year-old cobbled street has never been given an official name. You won’t miss it though, thanks to the large sign.

The Bluebell pub is perfect for a Sunday roast, and Trove is a must-visit for breakfast or brunch on the weekend as is Auntie Ji’s. The popularity of Cibus ensured that this pop-up pizza place expanded into a full restaurant that serves the most delicious Italian food. Fred’s Ale House is a great place to enjoy a drink of real ale, whilst also taking in some art and The Gherkin is a must-try vegetarian and vegan restaurant that will even tickle meat-loving people’s tastebuds.
