In which area is Uptown situated?

Uptown is a new residential complex perched on a bank of the River Irwell. Located a short riverside stroll away from the bustling city centre, the development puts its residents within walking distance of numerous amenities and the city’s main business districts. The iconic AO Arena that has hosted an abundance of big-name music and sports events is situated an 8-minute walk away from Uptown. Shopping lovers can rest assured that they will find everything they might need within easy reach as Manchester Arndale with its hundreds of shops and a food court can be reached in 14 minutes.

In case residents want to take a tranquil promenade along a stream, Manchester’s waterways are easily accessible and can lead to some of the city’s most precious gems. For instance, a short walk along the River Irwell will take you to Peel Park, a beautifully landscaped green space that accommodates Salford Museum and Art Gallery in addition to a play area and a collection of sports pitches. The park is a perfect weekend destination for people of all ages that seek a leafy sanctuary away from the buzzing streets.

Getting around and out of the city is an easy task for those who live in Uptown. Just a 10-minute walk away from the new development lies Manchester Victoria Train Station alongside a Metrolink tram stop.
