Buckley District
Wide variety of homes east of Manchester
While mostly filled with single-family residences, there are some townhomes and condominiums, beginning around $155,000 and reaching about $250,000. Homes often have large front and backyards, with large mature trees filling out the backyard. "In-between clusters of houses, you have open space—rivers, reserves, trails and trees,” Couture said. “It's great if you're not looking to live in the middle of Manchester and you're looking for a bit of elbow room." The neighborhood was built throughout the years, leading to a variety of housing styles scattered throughout. Ranch, Cape Cod, bi-level, split levels and Colonial Revivals can cost between $185,000 and $400,000. While new construction does happen in the area, it’s not as common. New Traditional homes range between $340,000 and $750,000.Advanced placement and dual credit for students
Children begin at Buckley Elementary for kindergarten through fourth grade. Buckley Elementary receives a B-minus from Niche. Students then attend the Elizabeth M. Bennet Academy for fifth and sixth grade before moving to Arthur H. Illing Middle for seventh and eighth grade. Bennet Academy earns a C while Illing Middle earns a C-plus from Niche. Manchester High, with a B, offers Advanced Placement and honors courses. Students can also participate in the UCONN Early College Experience to earn dual credits.Parallel interstates and one bus through Buckley
There is one bus, 88, that loops through the neighborhood before returning east to Hartford. While Buckley is not bordered by interstates, I-84 and I-384 do parallel each other to the north and south, respectively. Route 44 acts as the southern border of Buckley, crossing the entirety of Connecticut.Middle Turnpike East for dining and north for shopping
Most of the restaurants within Buckley sit on Middle Turnpike East, in the south of the neighborhood. Woodbridge Pizza Manchester sits on the corner of Middle Turnpike East and Woodbridge Street and sells New York-style pizza in a converted building. The Shady Glen Restaurant and Ice Cream Parlor serves cheeseburgers and only accepts cash, although an ATM is on site. For groceries, a Big Y World Class Market is about a mile north while Stop & Shop is about 2 miles further.Soccer fields and fishing pond along with state park access
The Kennedy Road Soccer Complex consists of four soccer fields of varying size. The Salters Pool has two outdoor pools and is adjacent to the Salters Pond, where residents can fish. Meadowbrook Play Area has a sprawling greenspace occasionally dotted with trees as well as a smaller play area closer to Meadowbrook Drive. The Hop River State Park trail begins in Buckley before continuing more than 20 miles along the Hop River.Fishing derby for children and axe throwing on the weekend
During the spring, the Manchester Lions Club hosts a Fishing Derby for those 14 and under. Stumpy’s Hatchet House has axe throwing, with Friday and Saturday nights after 7 p.m. exclusively for those 18 and older. Aussakita Acres Farm is an event-only farm open from April to December, with goat yoga and educational farm tours to learn more about the animals.

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.
