Hulme's proximity to the city centre has meant that it has become a popular place to live for a new generation of city dwellers; students of the University of Manchester are also choosing to live in many of the student-focused residential developments in the area.

Amongst the famous people that have hailed from this region of Manchester, the most famous is Morrissey, lead singer of The Smiths who spent his childhood in Hulme.

After two unsuccessful regeneration attempts in the 60s and the 80s, a consortium was formed in 1992 to undertake one of Europe's largest ever urban projects, the regeneration of Hulme. And what a staggering turnaround it has been. You would be hard-pressed to find a more pleasant landscape in any part of inner-city Britain where such a dazzling array of housing styles offer a blend of owner-occupancy, and private and social houses for rent.

The ambience is one of a respectable, cosmopolitan district with light-coloured buildings and a plethora of new-build apartments for rent which are never allowed to rise above four storeys. Lots of young trees have been planted which will one day make Hulme a seriously leafy affair. Added to all this is, of course, the enormous influence of Manchester University, Britain's largest single-site university. 40,000 students arrive annually searching for affordable houses for rent and apartments for rent, and the thrones of academia and the classy Halls of Residence bolster Hulme's successful overhaul.

Useless facts;

Hulme derives its name from the Danish word for a small island, or land surrounded by water or marsh. Which it may well have been when first settled by Norse invaders, as it is surrounded by water on three sides by the rivers Irwell, Medlock, and Cornbrook.

In 1904, Henry Royce and Charles Stewart Rolls created a business partnership after meeting at Manchester's Midland Hotel and decided to start to build their own versions of the relatively new invention of the motor car - and chose Hulme for their first Rolls-Royce factory.
