Hyde Property Market Overview
Hyde offers a varied property landscape with an average house price of approximately £235,000, making it a relatively affordable option within the Greater Manchester region. The area is characterized by a significant stock of traditional terraced houses, particularly in the older parts of the town, which provide affordable options for first-time buyers and families.
These properties, typically constructed in local red brick, represent an important part of Hyde’s industrial heritage. In addition to the traditional terraced housing, Hyde features numerous semi-detached properties with average prices around £245,000, while detached houses command approximately £395,000.
Key residential areas include the town centre with its Victorian terraced properties, Newton with its mix of housing types, and Godley where modern developments offer contemporary family accommodation. More recent developments have introduced modern housing options across the area, while maintaining excellent transport links including easy access to the M67 motorway and railway connections to Manchester.
