FAQs

Is Manchester a nice place to live?

What a question.

Well, to save you time, the answer is yes.

And that’s with our bias put aside.

But for the deeply curious among you, let’s touch on what makes Manchester the place to live, work, play, and more.

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a boom in people moving to our neck of the woods, especially young professionals and creatives who are looking to set up shop in a city that reflects their rich lives and varied pursuits.

It’s touted as one of the most liveable cities in the UK, taking into account a number of factors such as education, healthcare access, crime rates, and political and social stability.

All good things to have under our belt.

But, what about the numbers?

Manchester houses a rich population of over 500,000 beautiful people (if we don’t say so ourselves) and is the third most visited city in the UK by tourists hailing from overseas, narrowly beaten by Edinburgh and London.

We’re still neck-and-neck with Birmingham for the official title of the UK’s second city, but in our hearts, we know we’re number one to those that count.

With a rich industrial history based within the textile market, making Manchester one of the cotton capitals of the North, it quickly became the world’s biggest market for the stuff.

This heritage actually forms the gorgeous architectural features found about and around Kampus, sculpting the high ceilings and cobbled streets that weave around our offering.

Is it worth moving to Manchester?

Listen, Lonely Planet listed us as one of the best places to live in the world – so there’s got to be some stock in that.

But if you’re looking to up sticks and move from places further afield – such as beyond the M60 – Manchester is an excellent candidate.

It’s the city’s pride and authenticity that make it one of the best places to live.

You’re never far from a friendly face thanks to our fierce sense of community, which encompasses you from Kampus to beyond.

This comes courtesy of excellent transport links, working opportunities and an international reach fueled by one of the quickest-growing economies outside of London. As we said before, we’re a productive bunch, which means we are proud to be home to entrepreneurial prowess and business acumen of all kinds.
