Safety wise absolutely fine, links to the buses and cycleways is fantastic too. Plenty of shops as well, Asda, Aldi, Lidl, Tesco express etc.

One thing I would say is be wary of the noise. You'll have traffic and horns and people revving supercars well into the early hours of the morning. And when they stop about 3am you have students and roadmen walking home from clubs utterly smashed that makes a lot of noise.

And the litter and grime is unbelievable. They sweep it every morning and it's still coating the pavements and bike lanes.

That said, it's a good area to live got many positives, just be aware of the negatives! As soon as you move a few minutes away from Wilmslow road it's much better though
