This one-bedroom apartment in The Lightbox offers a compact, high-spec home or rental unit with private balcony and direct water views. Positioned on the 13th floor in MediaCity, it benefits from immediate access to bars, restaurants and major employers including the BBC, ITV and the University of Salford — a strong draw for professionals and students alike.
The accommodation is well presented with open-plan living and an integrated kitchen, laminate/wood flooring and a modern finish throughout. At 501 sq ft and arranged over three main rooms, the layout suits single occupants or couples and is straightforward to let or occupy.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold (245 years remaining) and heated via a community scheme. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, which could affect some tenants or home-workers. The neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy area — good rental demand but potential for local noise and turnover.
Overall, this apartment is a convenient, low-maintenance waterside option for investors seeking MediaCity rental income or buyers wanting a modern one-bed close to transport, culture and workplace hubs. Buyers should factor in the leasehold tenure, community heating arrangement, and limited broadband performance when assessing running costs and tenant appeal.
