Working remotely from Manchester — my experience

I've been working remotely from Manchester for 2 years now. Here's my take:

The pace of life here is perfect for remote work. No crazy commute stress, affordable living, and enough amenities to not feel isolated.

Cost of living: pretty reasonable
Internet: Fiber available in most areas — no complaints
Coworking spaces: Growing number of options

If you're looking for a place to WFH, Manchester is a solid choice.

Weather is the biggest factor for us. Four seasons are nice, not too extreme either way.

The job market has been improving lately. Several retail companies moved in recently.

If you can afford it, Highland Park is the best place to live. Period.

Great post! One thing I'd mention is check out the local Facebook groups for neighborhood info. Makes a big difference.

Respectfully disagree about the job market. In my experience, it really depends on your lifestyle.

Great post! One thing I'd mention is the west side tends to be more affordable. Makes a big difference.
