Football, music, food, culture, art, theatre, nightlife, shopping… Manchester has it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re fed up of London and want to live in an equally cool city that won’t bleed your bank account dry, or you’re a true Northerner who couldn’t live without chips and gravy and a decent cheap pint, Manchester could make the perfect home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you start looking at all the great rooms in Manchester<\/strong><\/a> on our site, and finding the best ever flatmates<\/a><\/strong> to live with, here are our top 5 reasons why Manchester is the place to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Music<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oasis, The Smiths, The Courteeners, The Stone Roses, Joy Division. Countless inspirational, world-class bands were born in Manchester, and they’ve certainly left their mark on the city. Manchester is home to some of the best small venues in the country, from the beautiful Grade-II listed Albert Hall to the Deaf Institute and Band on the Wall, so you’re spoilt for choice for a great place to enjoy live music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Warehouse Project is loved by EDM and techno fans – its three-month run of club nights hosting the biggest names in dance music always sells fast, and are known for being some of the best nights out of the year. This year’s line-up includes Annie Mac, Flume, Skepta, Fatboy Slim and Hannah Wants, and culminates in possibly THE best NYE party in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer brings Parklife festival, an independent festival of indie, dance and hip-hop music hosted at the sprawling Heaton Park. It’s the largest metropolitan festival in the UK, and attracts some of the world’s biggest artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Sport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Manchester is home to two of the best performing Premier League teams in the country, Manchester City and Manchester United. Both teams have a localised, dedicated fanbase, and home games are a sight to behold with an electrifying atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
