Growing in popularity, Trafford makes a great place to live. A prosperous area with a booming economy, low levels of unemployment and wages above the national average.
Trafford shares its borders with the buzzing city of Manchester in the north and the beautiful Cheshire countryside in the south, allowing locals the best of both worlds.
In recent years it has become something of a foodie destination offering an opportunity to taste excellent cuisine in a range of award-winning restaurants.
Transport links could not be more efficient and with the extension of the Metrolink line, commuting from Trafford to Manchester City Centre the region is incredibly connected.
Whilst expanding rapidly, Trafford Council is focussing on creating an eco-friendly borough and ensuring that residents have plenty of green space.
A fashionistas dream, the Trafford Centre is one of the UK’s largest shopping centres and visited by around 30,000 visitors annually.
Trafford’s forward thinking local council continues its ongoing development plans firmly set with a priority on being green having pushed for its gas-fired power plant, and an environmental initiative to close all coal-fired power plants by 2025.
Sport is important to local residents, and they are avid supporters of the iconic Manchester United Football Club and Lancashire County Cricket Club, both of which call Trafford home.
This multi-faceted Borough certainty is an all-rounder. Whether you are into sport, shopping, dining out, are looking for great employment opportunities or high performing schools, Trafford takes some beating.
