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.”
