Summary - The Lightbox, Blue Media City M50 M50 2AD
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact modern one-bedroom with balcony and strong MediaCity location.
Private balcony with direct waterside views
Set on the fifth floor of The Lightbox in MediaCityUK, this one-bedroom apartment offers reliable rental appeal and attractive waterside views from a private balcony. At around 501 sq ft, the apartment is compact but efficiently laid out with floor-to-ceiling windows and modern finishes that suit professional sharers, students, or single tenants. The 245-year lease provides long-term security.
The location is the main draw: media and education employers nearby (BBC, ITV, University of Salford), plentiful on-site bars, restaurants and leisure amenities, and walking access to cultural destinations and sporting venues. Low crime, no flood risk and an affluent surrounding area strengthen lettability and resale prospects.
Buyers should note practical downsides: the annual service charge is high (approximately £2,701), broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and heating is via a community scheme which can affect individual control and costs. The apartment’s size and open-plan layout suit singles or couples but will be tight for families.
Overall, this is a straightforward, well-located waterside unit that suits investors seeking steady demand or first-time buyers wanting a managed, central MediaCity home. Factor in service costs and connectivity limits when assessing yield or living comfort.
