Amenities and Things to Do
For those who don’t want to travel to Manchester’s city centre, there’s everything you need on your doorstep in Levenshulme. The new library is popular with residents, and there are also several pleasant green parks, which provide the ideal spot to relax on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
The schools are also performing well, with several being rated as ‘good’ or above on their Ofsted reports. This is naturally excellent news for parents thinking of moving to the area, as is the fact that Arcadia Leisure Centre is also close by, with its good-sized swimming pool, gym and sauna.
If you do fancy a trip into Manchester city centre, then Levenshulme’s train station takes between six to nine minutes to get there, or alternatively, you can head southwards to Stockport, Crewe or Buxton. Blackpool is also within easy reach, which is ideal for a day-trip to the beach.
