Is Stretford
a good place to live?
Stretford is one of Greater Manchester’s biggest regeneration stories. The Old Trafford Mayoral Development Corporation plans 15,000 homes, and Manchester United’s proposed 100,000-seat stadium could open in the early 2030s, transforming the area.
The trade-offs are match-day crowds and traffic, years of construction at Stretford Mall and around Old Trafford, and busy roads such as the A56. Over time, the regeneration is expected to bring better shops, transport and public spaces to Stretford.
