A Regenerated Canalside Community in the Heart of Manchester
New Islington is one of Manchester’s most successful regeneration projects — transformed from overlooked industrial land into a modern, design-led neighbourhood right on the edge of the city centre.
Built around the Ashton Canal and New Islington Marina, this area has become a favourite for professionals, creatives, and first-time renters looking for a calmer, more residential setting just minutes from Ancoats and Piccadilly.
With a mix of stylish apartments, family townhouses, community-led spaces and independent businesses, it’s a place that feels thoughtfully planned — modern but still grounded in Manchester’s industrial history.
What Makes New Islington Different
Where other parts of the city shout louder, New Islington takes a more relaxed approach.
It’s known for clean, design-focused developments — including eco-housing, canalside apartments, and courtyard-style flats that blend into landscaped walkways and open water. The marina is the heart of the neighbourhood, surrounded by independent coffee spots, bakeries and walking trails.
There’s a genuine neighbourhood feel here — helped by the local health centre, school, and well-maintained public spaces. It’s a quieter, more settled kind of city living — without losing the convenience of Manchester on your doorstep.
The area also offers quick access to the Metrolink (via New Islington stop), walking distance to Piccadilly Station, and excellent links into Ancoats, the Northern Quarter and East Manchester.
