Whalley Range was one of Manchester's first suburbs, built by Manchester banker and businessman Samuel Brooks as "a desirable estate for gentlemen and their families". It lies approximately 1.5miles south of Manchester City Centre.

There are a variety of houses for rent & apartments for rent in Whalley Range, which generally let very quickly due to their value for money & close proximity to Manchester City centre. For example; 2bed apartments for rent would cost approximately £500 to £600 per month and houses for rent would cost approximately £500 to £750 per month depending on size, location etc.

House prices have increased in recent years due to extensive redevelopment in the area, leading to increased demand for houses to rent & apartments to rent in the area.

Whalley Range has many Manchester music connections including ex-residents Morrisey of The Smiths, Reni of The Stone Roses, Mark Collins of The Charlatans, Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy and Jimi Hendrix.

Useless fact;

Whalley Range was immortalised by Morrissey in the 1984 song by The Smiths, Miserable Lie, which featured the lines: "What do we get for our trouble and pain? / Just a rented room in Whalley Range".

Manchester band 'James' formed in Whalley Range in 1981 and are still performing today.
