Highlands Manchester is located just south of downtown Manchester.
Recreation and housing just south of downtown Manchester
On the banks of the Merrimack River, bordered by the historic Pine Grove Cemetery, is the quiet community of Highlands. This Manchester suburb is home to quaint parks, peaceful natural areas and tree-lined streets. The neighborhood's proximity to major roads, including Interstate 293, allows for easy travel to downtown Manchester and surrounding communities. “It’s an appealing area for commuters,” says Cody Barna, a local real estate agent with eXp Realty. “Calef Road cuts through the neighborhood’s center and turns into Brown Avenue as you head south, which can take people straight to the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. You also have Beech Street right there, which residents can take 3 miles north to downtown.”
Condos and Houses along Calef Road
Many homes here have Cape Cod-inspired designs, along with some ranch styles and split-levels. Many are situated on half-acre lots and were constructed between the 1950s and the 1970s. Many houses have views of the countryside from the front or back porch, and some are within sight of the Merrimack River, which can drive up the price. Single-family homes here tend to run from $250,000 to $500,000. Several condos and apartments are located along Calef Road. Prices for these can range from $150,000 to $210,000.
Homes along the Merrimack River have beautiful views all year long.

Disc golf, trails and playsets along the Merrimack River
There are several parks in and around the Highlands community. Barbara Shaw Park is close to many homes and offers a baseball diamond and a playset for families to enjoy. Smaller parks can be found in the center of the community, with Sullivan Family Park offering another playground and a small walking path. Hollows Disc Golf Course is behind the Pine Grove Cemetery and has two different courses that wind through rolling hills and towering trees. Hikers and bikers can use the Londonderry Rail Trail that borders the neighborhood to the east, which is part of a larger expanse of paved trails for both exercise and commuting. “The trail is popular among runners and bikers,” says Barna. “And it connects with other rail trails, which is nice for those looking to trek longer distances.”
