Rehousing areas:
properties & prospects

The Northwards area is split into smaller 'rehousing areas'. When people register for rehousing they choose one or more of these areas to apply for.

Here is information about the number of properties in each rehousing area, the numbers of homes that are available in a year, and the average 'queue date' that people may need to get an offer of a home in that area. (Queue dates for flats in multi-storey blocks may be later than these shown. See high-rise living).

The rehousing areas are:
Ancoats (city centre) | Blackley |  Blackley: Surrey Road Estate | Charlestown | Cheetham Hill | Cheetwood |  Collyhurst: Monsall | Crumpsall | Dam Head | Harpurhey Central | Harpurhey South | Higher Blackley | Lightbowne | Moston | New Moston | Newton Heath | Riverdale | Smithfield (city centre)
