Manchester, CTInc. 1672
Manchester is a suburban town east of Hartford with a commercial center along Main Street and residential neighborhoods that range from dense, older areas near the center to suburban single-family development in the outlying sections. The town's size and commercial base make it one of the more significant markets east of Hartford.
For property professionals, Manchester is a moderate market with more commercial property and housing variety than typical Hartford suburbs, creating a need for neighborhood-level assessment.
