About

Rusholme West & Moss Side East is a residential area in south Manchester, located close to the city centre. The area is known for its mix of Victorian terraced houses and modern apartment blocks, providing housing for students, families, and young professionals. Wilmslow Road runs through the heart of Rusholme, lined with shops, takeaways, and restaurants, many of which specialise in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. The nearby Platt Fields Park offers green space with a lake, sports facilities, and walking paths.

Moss Side East has a strong community presence, with local centres and initiatives supporting residents. The area is well-connected by public transport, including frequent buses to the city centre and universities. Alexandra Park provides another green space, featuring playgrounds and sports courts. The proximity to the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University makes the area popular with students. While historically known for its challenges, ongoing regeneration projects aim to improve housing and infrastructure.
