About

Moss Side West is a residential district directly south of Manchester city centre.

Hulme Park provides a significant green space on its northern edge, while several local primary schools serve the community. The housing mix includes both owner-occupied and social rental properties, creating varied streetscapes.

The area is notably home to the Moss Side Leisure Centre and Powerhouse Library, key local amenities. Princess Parkway forms a major transport route along its eastern boundary.
