Unity Quarter
In one of the finest locations in Greater Manchester, bounded to the south by sloping woodland and offering superb panoramic views of Salford and Manchester, Unity Quarter presents an exciting mixture of houses and apartments destined to become one of the area's most inspiring and desirable neighbourhoods. Conceived and developed to promote and foster a sustainable community in exceptionally pleasant surroundings, the homes are in easy reach of both Salford town centre and Manchester city centre.
Outdoor activities
In addition to having several green recreational areas such as Kersal Moor virtually adjacent to the development, Unity Quarter is only around 20 minutes walk from Heaton Park, the largest municipal park in Europe. With 247 hectares of beautiful scenery in the foothills of the Pennines, the park includes a boating lake, café, play and sports areas, an animal centre and several listed buildings including the magnificent Heaton Hall. An endlessly attractive setting for peaceful walking and enjoying the range of flora and fauna, the park is also used for special events ranging from astronomy evenings and children's activities to large musical and dramatic productions and firework displays. There is a local nature reserve at Kersal Dale, part of the Croal Irwell Valley, with 32 hectares of countryside and woodland.

Unity Quarter is close to excellent bus routes, with services passing along Moor Lane, Littleton Road and Oaklands Road and linking with the centres of Manchester, Bury and Salford. There are several stops close to the development, which is just a few minutes drive from the M60 ring road.
Education
There is a choice of primary schools within walking distance of Unity Quarter, including one in Nevile Road virtually adjacent to the development.

Sport and leisure

The area has several Fit City amenities and private gyms within walking distance, including the Broughton Centre in Camp Street with its large sports hall, squash court and boxing gym, and an 18-metre climbing wall. Broughton Pool, just over a mile away, combines a 25-metre pool with a comprehensive health and fitness suite.

Entertainment and culture
Unity Quarter is in easy reach of the centres of both Salford and Manchester, with their excellent museums and galleries, live entertainment, cinema and night life. The development is also close to the Irwell Sculpture Trail, the largest public arts scheme in the UK, with miles of artwork set in beautiful surroundings along the river.
