West Manchester homes and businesses near the Merrimack River
Named for the river that runs along its southern end, Piscataquog also hugs the Merrimack River and is within less than 2 miles of downtown Manchester. Piscataquog began as an area largely inhabited by German immigrants working in Manchester’s downtown mills in the 1840s. Today, the neighborhood is home to a few small businesses on Main Street, Manchester West High School and the Piscataquog Rail Trail. Workers Cottages and modest condos line up along short side streets, and residents can walk, bike or drive to reach downtown shops and restaurants. With fast access to downtown yet comparatively affordable housing prices, Piscataquog has become a popular area in Manchester.
Locally owned restaurants and fast access to downtown Manchester
Though downtown Manchester isn’t too far away, there are also a few spots on South Main Street that locals can enjoy.

Familiar chain restaurants like Dunkin’ and Subway are just down the road from Elite Pizza. Market Basket is just across the river, and the north end of the neighborhood is home to the Parkside Community Garden.

Community gatherings and local support from Workmen's Club and Hall
Hidden in the neighborhood is a longtime community staple called the Workmen's Club & Hall. "I’ve worked here almost 40 years as a manager at Workmen’s. It’s the oldest club in the state, founded in 1883,” says Donna Staples, a board of director’s member at Workmen’s. “The bar itself is a private, member-owned facility that you have to be sponsored by another member to join. We also rent it out to the community for weddings, baby showers and birthdays, and to members. We also donate the hall for events like Mercy Meals when someone in a member’s family passes.” The bar also works to help the Piscataquog community by raising funds and getting residents involved. "We do shows for the community to raise money. For example, we raised almost $25,000 for Webster House, which was matched by donations. During the Iraq and Iran war, we raised supplies for the troops, held toy drives, and Christmas parties for kids,” Staples says.
