Anyone know the manchester area well?

My brother is looking to buy a house near manchester and he's spotted something on Tweedle Hill Road near Heaton Park. Does anyone know this area and how is it for living there, crime etc?

I think it's in higher blackley, it's not bad round there, close to transport links and only a stones throw from the city centre.

 

As for crime, it's Manchester mate, crimes everywhere but it's not like there's muggings every 5 minutes or owt.

Higher Blackley area used to be ok, across Blackley New Road into Crumpsall and Harpurhey there are some pretty scummy areas. About 5 years since I worked in that area though. Most of Manchester is posh areas cheek by jowl with scummy sink estates.

Thanks for the info. The street looks quite tidy and good location for commuting and that.
