This quiet, unassuming street south of the city centre has been named the cheapest in Greater Manchester.
Lined with rows of large Victorian homes, Curzon Avenue in Longsight is mainly occupied by students.
Many of the houses have been made up into separate flats.
According to the Land Registry, latest data shows a property on the street would cost an average of £33,333 to buy.
That makes it the cheapest street in the whole of the county.
Coming in second is Clovelly Avenue in Oldham, with an average house price of £43,000.

On the other end of the spectrum, the most expensive street in Greater Manchester can be found in Stockport.
On Wellington Road South, houses average at around £1,749,000.
Back on Curzon Avenue, the Manchester Evening News spoke to residents about what life is really like on the street.
“I really like it here. I’ve lived here two years,” 30-year-old Paula Djahmoun said, clutching her newborn daughter.
“It’s really calm and I never hear any fights or disturbances.
“I feel really safe. You never hear voices or anything.
“There are also shops nearby if you need anything.”
Across the street, Dan Gray, a student at Manchester Metropolitan University, said his house was the cheapest they found while searching for student accommodation.
Despite a recent terrifying incident, the 21-year-old described life on the street as “mostly okay”.
The journalism student had been in his ground-floor room playing on his Xbox when he heard his blinds rustling.
He turned around to find a man climbing through his window.
“He said, ‘Give me all your money’ and ran off. He left his bag here,” Dan told the Manchester Evening News .
“Other than that, it’s been mostly okay.
“There have been a few break-ins at various houses.
“It hasn’t made me feel differently about living here. I just don’t open the windows.”
Hanif Khan, who is currently working nights, described the street as “really peaceful” and “quiet”.
The 22-year-old said: “We really like it. It’s really peaceful.
“Other places there are main roads and traffic. Over here it’s much calmer.
“I’m on the night shift so when I get back, I need it to be quiet.
“There’s not much trouble at all and the neighbours are really nice.”
Rebecca Bingham, a 22-year-old student at the University of Manchester, moved into her shared accommodation in September.
She described her neighbours as ‘friendly’.
She said: “We’ve lived here since September.
“It’s not really that busy. It’s quiet. We lived in a louder place before so we noticed the quiet.
“People are generally friendly. Nothing bad has happened to us here, but there was something opposite us.”
