About

It has good transport links via the A665 Cheetham Hill Road and several bus routes connecting to Manchester city centre.

The area has a range of local shops and services catering to everyday needs, with a focus on convenience rather than larger retail outlets. Charlestown has seen some redevelopment in recent years, including new housing projects. The population is diverse, with a blend of long-term residents and newer arrivals. Schools and community facilities serve the local area, making it a practical base for families and commuters.
