A great place to live areas like Davenport, Woodsmoor, Bramhall, Heaton Moor, etc. House prices are high for a reason, people want to live here. The market and underbank areas have some of the nicest buildings around, we are close to Manchester on one side and the Peak district on the other.

| People perpetuate a negative view which does not match reality, it's the safest town in Greater Manchester but people portray it as the wild west, I go out in Stockport most weekends and never see trouble or feel threatened but people won't allow facts to get in the way of a good myth. |

I feel like Stockport is a place on the up, there is always a good new development going on. The area opposite the peel centre has all just been redeveloped last year and now there is a new Tesco and plans for the Asda area to be rebuilt.
It does have a slight reputation for badly behaved youths but I'm sure its no worse than in any other major town in the country and yes there is still some to do on improving areas like grand central (squares and H+H) but I see a lot of improvement.
I mean, the plaza cinema has been regenerated which is a fantastic building and theres the still rather new Hat museum and the brand new Staircase house museum. And Stockport has a lot of grand architecture which most people might not realise at first but when you add them all up you've got the town hall, the infirmary, the library, all the old factories, the plaza, art gallery, the market building, st marys church and alot of the pubs and probably a lot more which i cant remember and the train station is all new and state of the art. |
