Medlock Vale is a residential area situated in the southern part of the Oldham borough. The ward is characterised by a mix of housing, including terraced homes and modern developments, set along streets that follow the sloping terrain. It contains several local parks and green spaces, such as Medlock Valley parkland, which provides walking routes along the watercourse. The area is served by primary schools and local shopping parades catering to daily needs.
