Mast Road
Suburban Neighborhood in Manchester, New Hampshire
Hillsborough County 03102
Established ranch-style homes and new constructions
Situated between Bedford and Manchester, homes in Mast Road offer plenty of space while still being close enough to form relationships with neighbors. “The housing styles are super diverse here,” Lynch says. “Just on one street alone, you can find a ranch, a Cape Cod, and a new construction mini colonial all right next to each other.” There is also a range of home ages, with some built as early as the 1910s and others as recently as the 2010s. Lot sizes provide enough space for a modest front and back yard, with gardens and driveways a common sight in front of the home. Home prices range from $300,000 to $625,000, with new construction and renovated homes often being more expensive.

Recreation on the Piscataquog River
With the Piscataquog River bordering the northern end of the neighborhood, residents can enjoy woodland and waterfront views just a short drive away. The George W. Smith Complex is the largest green space in the community, with two soccer fields and a baseball diamond, creating a space often populated with young athletes in the warmer months of the year. Lynch says that the park has hosted community events in the past, like a volunteer cancer walk. Piscataquog River Park is connected to the complex, where river access and shaded trails snake through the white pines. Raco Theodore Pool is just a block away from the complex, which is a public city-run pool that is open in the summer next to year-round sports fields and a fenced-in playground. Bikers and joggers have access to the Piscataquog Rail Trail, a 2-mile paved trail leading residents to downtown Manchester.

Century-old schools and local colleges
Students can start their education at Parker-Varney School, which receives a C-minus rating on Niche, before continuing to the Middle School at Parkside, which also earns a C-minus. They can then head to the C-rated Manchester West High School. Often referred to as “West” by students and faculty, it celebrated its 100th year as a school in 2023. Nearby Saint Anselm College is a Benedictine liberal arts college that receives a B-minus rating and has a functioning abbey attached.

Manchester events and arenas
Downtown Manchester's largest annual event is the Taco Tour each May. Around 90 local restaurants craft signature tacos for festival visitors to enjoy as the streets fill with music. The Delta Dental Stadium, home of the Fisher Cats, Manchester’s minor league baseball team is also nearby. “I can hear the fireworks from the stadium from my house,” Lynch says. Just up the road from the stadium is the South New Hampshire University Arena, which hosts a variety of events, including circus acts, hockey games and martial arts matches.I-293 and major Manchester roads
Mast Road has more access to paved sidewalks and walking trails compared to the rest of Manchester, and residents here can freely stroll around the community. “Simply put, it’s a nice place to walk your dog,” Lynch says. The areas where there are no sidewalks are quiet suburban roads with few cars running around, giving the neighborhood even more of a leisurely feel. When it's time to head to work or run errands, Mast Road leads right into Interstate 293, the closest major road to the community. The Interstate quickly connects drivers to the rest of the Manchester area, along with U.S. Route 3. Catholic Medical Center is less than 2 miles to the northeast, and the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is 7 miles to the south, which Lynch says takes about 15 minutes.Nearby brunch and bar options close to home
Due to Mast Road’s location between downtown Bedford and Manchester, residents have plenty of dining options. The Copper Door is less than 3 miles south of the community, and daily specials like buttermilk chicken and sizzling steaks invite guests into the softly lit dining room. Tucker’s is a brunch spot that usually has a wait due to its large portions and popular dishes like eggs benedict and waffles. Stores like Aubin Hardware are also nearby and have served the community for over 50 years. “Everyone there is super nice. I had an employee help me for 20 minutes just to find a single washer and screw,” Lynch says. Residents can access two different Hannaford stores and Market Basket locations, all less than 2 miles from home.
