Welcome to Rhodes

Rhodes is a suburban area located in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, Greater Manchester.

The area is predominantly residential, with a mix of housing types including terraced, semi-detached and detached properties. There are also a number of local amenities including shops, pubs, restaurants and a library.
