Southern Manchester charm

Keeney, a quiet community in southern Manchester, is home to forests, land trusts and preserves. The neighborhood is something of a gateway to the kind of landscapes found in the more rural parts of Connecticut. As such, the area is appealing for homebuyers looking for more space, peace and quiet. Keeney is located about 10 miles from Hartford, providing residents with a homey respite, though with city amenities nearby with convenient access to Interstate 84. There's plenty to do without leaving the area, though, as there are various local dining options and outdoor parks around. “It’s a cute and charming part of town,” says Donna Connolly, a real estate broker with ERA Blanchard & Rossetto. “It’s close to hiking trails, parks and golf courses. There’s a lot to do, as well, like the Manchester Road Race, which is a pretty big event for the town. It’s also pretty close to Hartford, which is convenient for commuters.”

Spacious homes with great curb appeal

Homes in Keeney benefit from the area's secluded suburban environment. Properties tend to have more land and square footage than other areas in Manchester. Prices range from around $300,000 to $600,000, and in Keeney, you'll generally start with a quarter acre of land, and it only goes up from there. The neighborhood tends to have Cape Cod and ranch-style homes available for sale, and many properties butt up against the area's forests.

Proximity to Manchester's best shops and dining options

You can venture out of Keeney and cross I-384 to eat at some of Manchester's popular restaurants. Locals love Cosmic Omelet for breakfast food. This community staple serves out-of-this-world egg-centric dishes and hearty sandwiches for lunch. The restaurant's interior is creative and quirky, and the first detail that gives away the restaurant's character, other than its name, is the message written on the host booth: "Follow the Yellow Brick Road." A painted yellow brick road along the floor leads diners to a small arcade room, and past that space, you'll find an art gallery full of works by local artists. The dining area suggests a classic diner, with metal stools lining the counter and dark green leather booths throughout the area. For a welcoming environment, creative atmosphere, and creative egg-based dishes, The Cosmic Omelet has Keeney locals covered.
