Balancing suburban life and rural living
Buckley acts as the border between Manchester and neighboring towns Bolton and Vernon. The eastern portion of the neighborhood is residential, while the western portion is mostly forests and farmland. "It's the heart of Manchester's agricultural area," says Suzy Couture of Executive Real Estate Inc. "There are community farms in the area that have goat yoga, and you can pet animals there." Roads bend and weave through the neighborhood and under the cover of trees. Buckley also offers proximity to community events within Manchester, such as Independence Day celebrations and more everyday occurrences like swim lessons. Buckley also has a crime score of 2 from the CAP Index, lower than the national average of 4.
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.
Many homes in Buckley District have two or three attached garages, giving residents plenty of storage.
