Horwich North and Daubhill and Fernhill Gate recorded the biggest increases in the borough, with median property prices rising by 25.7 per cent in a year.
At the other end of the scale, Doffcocker and Moss Bank saw the largest fall, with the median price dropping by 16.7 per cent.
The figures come from analysis of Office for National Statistics data comparing median property prices in Bolton neighbourhoods in the years ending September 2024 and September 2025.
In Horwich North, the median price increased from £177,000 to £222,500 – a rise of £45,500.
Daubhill and Fernhill Gate recorded the same percentage increase, with the median climbing by £38,000 from £148,000 to £186,000.
The scale of the increases contrasts with the wider national picture.

The House Growth Report was produced by Online Marketing Surgery and MG Timber using ONS data for Middle Layer Super Output Areas across Bolton.
The figures are based on median prices of properties sold in each area, meaning changes can be affected by the number and types of homes sold during each period and do not necessarily represent a change in the value of an individual property.
Nationally, the number of home sales dipped last month as the housing market faced a subdued summer amid higher borrowing costs, new data shows.
Across the UK, there were an estimated 96,710 house sales in July, according to figures from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
This was one per cent lower than the same month last year and two per cent lower than in June.
Experts said this reflects buyers and sellers being cautious amid higher mortgage rates and geopolitical uncertainty since the Iran war.
Mortgage rates jumped earlier this year after the US-Israel war with Iran began, which affected financial markets in the UK.
They have been edging lower since spring, but many buyers continue to see higher rates than at the start of the year, leading some to put activity on hold.
Jason Tebb, president of OnTheMarket, said: “The ongoing uncertainty created by the Middle East conflict and its impact on energy prices and interest rates continues to dampen activity.
“However, the market’s underlying resilience remains in evidence.
“Buyers and sellers who need to move regardless are adapting to changing circumstances and continuing to proceed.
