About Waterhead
Waterhead's one of the most affordable neighbourhoods around. Terraces start from around £128,000, and you can rent a one-bed flat for £646 a month — making it a solid choice if you've been priced out of Saddleworth. The neighbourhood's exceptionally quiet by crime figures, and the air quality here is good too, which makes a real difference to everyday living.
You've got supermarkets, cafés, pubs and fast food all within the neighbourhood. Dentists are well provided for, and GPs and pharmacies are just nearby. Driving's the easiest way to get around — you've got quick access to the A627(M). If you prefer public transport, buses run through the area and there's a Metrolink stop nearby that connects you to Oldham and Manchester.
Schools are mixed. Greenacres Primary Academy and Oasis Academy Clarksfield are both rated Good.
