Living here

Longsight has a very diverse community. Longsight Market is on Dickenson Road, the main shops are around its junction with Stockport Road, and there's an Asda on Stanley Grove. Longsight Library & Learning Centre on Stockport Road has a library on the ground floor and adult education classes upstairs.

Getting to uni

The 53 runs along Dickenson Road from Longsight Market, through Rusholme and up Oxford Road, stopping outside the University of Manchester in about 15 minutes. The 197 runs from Stockport Road to the same stretch of Oxford Road in a similar time, and the 192 goes along Stockport Road into Piccadilly.

Good to know

Crowcroft Park, on the border with Levenshulme, has a children's playground and bowling greens. The 53 and 197 both stop at the Manchester Royal Infirmary on the way to the University, which is useful for anyone on placement there.

HMO management in Longsight.

Own a student house or HMO in Longsight? 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.
