THE FEEL

Manchester maintains a small-town feel, but with city accessibility. Manchester is made up primarily of single-family homes built on wooded lots. The neighborhood also contains several drive-in style businesses.

HISTORY

This city has been around for more than 200 years, and continues to this day to be host to a number of businesses.  Before it was named Manchester, the neighborhood was known as “Hoardstown”. Residents nowadays can be thankful for the name upgrade that named the town after Manchester, England.

ACCESSIBILITY

Intersecting with interstate 270 and route 141, Manchester also gives easy access to Interstate 64, and a quicker commute to downtown comparative to other west suburbs.

CULTURE

Manchester feels like a small town, with a Homecoming celebration, community band, and neighborhood art competitions.   

ENTERTAINMENT

Lined with commercial businesses, the downtown remains a historic district with unique shops and boutiques. There is everything imaginable on Manchester, from bars to restaurants, a movie theater, and West County Shopping Center. Restaurants reflecting a wide array of nationalities and styles can be found throughout the area.

SCHOOLS

Manchester houses two decorated school districts, Parkway and Valley Park. Many of the schools can be found along Manchester Road.
