I’ve lived in Sale for going on 3 years now. Love it. I’ve read reviews saying how people are unfriendly yada yada and I have a suspicion about that. Sale is not massive and runs on the backs of the community, so if you don’t roll up your sleeves and pull your own weight a bit, I reckon locals might disapprove and fair enough too. If you help out where you can - doesn’t have to be much - it is appreciated massively. I have made more good friends in Sale in 3 years than I have in the remainder of my life so far. However, I hate shopping and my idea of a great day out involves birdwatching. If you like shopping and don’t want to participate in the community, this might not be the best place to live. I live in what is considered one of the slightly “less desirable” parts of Sale and my neighbours are pure gold, we chat all the time and help each other out. So yes, do your homework but don’t be put off by hearsay or rumours.
