M23 2ZP is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Firbank Road, 0.5km from Newall Green in Wythenshawe. Administratively it sits within Baguley ward and the Wythenshawe and Sale East constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, M23 2ZP is a striving suburban area — non-UK born households working to get ahead. The daytime character shifts — large schools, colleges, and universities, nationally widespread. The 42 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 46% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence.

Property: Average house prices are around £280k. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
