Stuck on NW areas to re-locate. Commute on foot.
Discussion
Hi all, Myself and OH work in Manchester (Oxford Rd) and are looking to cut down our commute whilst trying to find an area similar to where we live currently.
Up in Greenfield currently. We both really like the semi-rural type of area, and the fact that there's some good amenities nearby (supermarket, independent shops, pubs etc) looking to start a family so family friendly is a high point too.
Problem with the commute is it's only one train an hour, and then we tend to walk from Victoria to Picadilly Gardens for a bus to Oxford Rd. When it works out, it's almost manageable, but far too often it is becoming harder to compromise the location over the stress of the commute.
Neither of us drive, so we are really struggling to find somewhere that ticks all boxes. We have a low budget of 130K which also puts a strain on things!
Only place that we have come across is Tottington, just outside of Bury. But this would mean a 15/20 bus journey from Tottington into Bury interchange, to then get onto the tram. And then a bus once in Manchester.
Any other ideas would be really appreciated.
