In the Northwest part of Manchester you can find newer developments.
Cul-de-sacs, houses old and new
On the outskirts of Manchester, bordering the rural community of Goffstown, is Northwest Manchester, a neighborhood of winding streets and wooded hikes. Connected to the rest of the west side and downtown by Dunbarton and Goffstown roads, the Northwest is a residential area with a rustic feel on the edge of New Hampshire’s largest city. Single-family homes from the early 20th century, apartments and brand-new townhouses in planned subdivisions are available. “There are some new developments where you can start in a townhouse and end up in a nursing home,” says William Kanteres, broker at Kanteres Real Estate in New Hampshire. “It’s a community that provides housing for all different phases of life, from first homes to a retirement village.”

Largest forest in the city
The neighborhood is anchored by the Manchester Cedar Swamp Preserve, a 640-acre forest and the largest conservation area in the city. The forest has nearly 2 miles of trails, including the universally accessible, ADA-compliant All Persons Trail. The preserve is a popular place to hike through the woods. Atlantic white cedar swamps, patches of rhododendrons and black gum trees line its forested walkways. Because it’s a wildlife habitat, however, dogs are not allowed.

Rustic or urban feel?
North of the preserve, in a tiny sliver of Manchester next to the Goffstown border, are upscale houses in cul-de-sac subdivisions with rolling front lawns underneath tall trees. The area south of the preserve feels more traditionally Manchester, with its saltboxes and Cape Cods on small lots sitting right next to each other. It’s residential, but it doesn’t have the suburban or rural feel exuded by the area closer to Goffstown. Home prices in Northwest Manchester can range from $173,000 to $845,000.
Golfing and fishing
Golfers can practice their swings at the Intervale Country Club, a semi-private 9-hole golf club hugging the Merrimack River. Locals can apply for membership with a referral from a current member, or they can play the course during designated public hours. Locals fish at Blodget Park near the Merrimack and relax in the park’s open green space.
Five pounds of poutine
Northwest Manchester is a residential area, but it’s also minutes away from stores and restaurants. Groceries and everyday essentials are available at the nearby Walmart Supercenter, and fishing gear is for sale next door at Bass Pro Shops. Locals eat breakfast at Canadian restaurant Chez Vachon, famous for its poutine challenge where diners have an hour to eat 5 pounds of cheese curd-topped fries smothered with gravy. Pizza and meatball subs are served inside leather booths at Hot Stone Pizzeria. Catholic Medical Center is the main Manchester hospital on the West Side. It’s about 10 minutes away from the Northwest.
Public schools and community colleges
Kids in the Northwest can enroll in Manchester public schools. Some kids in the neighborhood attend Northwest Elementary School (rated C-minus by Niche), Middle School at Parkside (rated C-minus) and Manchester High School West (rated C). West High is the alma mater of comedian Seth Meyers and McDonald’s co-founders Maurice and Richard McDonald. Northwest also has Manchester Community College, a higher education institution for people with a high school diploma.
Middle School at Parkside serves students in 5-8th grade.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
