The area is characterised by a mix of post-war and older terraced housing, with local amenities concentrated along the main thoroughfares. Its proximity to the river and several large retail parks provides a distinct economic and geographical context, separate from the central business district.

The ward includes the neighbourhood of Whitecross, known for its community-focused facilities. A notable local landmark is the swing bridge at Knutsford Road, a functional piece of infrastructure that connects the area across the Manchester Ship Canal.
