About East Manchester
Sportcity was built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, transforming former industrial land in Bradford and Beswick, where Bradford Colliery closed in 1968. The main stadium became home to Manchester City and anchors today’s fast-growing Etihad Campus.
Co-op Live, the UK’s largest indoor arena, opened in May 2024 with capacity for 23,500. The Etihad Stadium’s North Stand fully opened in May 2026, taking capacity to around 61,500, and a 401-room Radisson Blu hotel opened at Medlock Square in 2026.

Is East Manchester
a good place to live?
East Manchester offers some of the city’s most affordable homes, fast-rising prices, quick tram links into the city centre and huge investment, from Co-op Live and the North Stand to thousands of planned new homes at Holt Town and Grey Mare Lane.
The trade-offs are busy event days, with traffic, parking pressure and late finishes at Co-op Live, and years of ongoing construction. Some parts of the area still face deprivation, so choosing the right street matters, and we can help you with that.
