Living here

Blackley is mostly residential, with a mix of owner-occupied and privately rented homes, and it's popular with people who commute into the city centre. Boggart Hole Clough is a large woodland park with a boating lake and tennis and basketball courts, and Blackley Forest follows the River Irk. Heaton Park, the biggest park in Greater Manchester, has entrances on Middleton Road.

Getting to uni

The 17 runs along Rochdale Road from Blackley to Shudehill Interchange about every 10 minutes in the daytime, taking about 15 minutes. The 59 and 118 also run into the city centre. From town you change onto an Oxford Road bus or a tram. The 41 runs from Higher Blackley right through to Oxford Road, Rusholme and Fallowfield, but only about once an hour from Higher Blackley, and it goes the long way via Crumpsall and Cheetham Hill. Trams from nearby Bowker Vale and Heaton Park stops also run into the city centre.

Good to know

North Manchester General Hospital is in neighbouring Crumpsall, on the 41 and 118 bus routes. Heaton Park has hosted big outdoor concerts and the Parklife festival, and Heaton Park tram stop is next to one of its entrances. The M60 motorway forms Blackley's northern boundary.

HMO management in Blackley.

Own a shared house or HMO in Blackley? It's one of the areas we cover from our office on Dickenson Road. We find and reference the tenants, collect the rent, handle repairs and keep the licence and safety certificates in date. Or we do just the part you want help with.

HMOs here are licensed by Manchester City Council. A house let to five or more people who form two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence, and some streets are also covered by selective licensing. Since 2011, turning a family home into a shared house anywhere in Manchester has needed planning permission (an Article 4 direction). We can apply for the licence and keep it in date.
