Manchester Meadows offers laid-back living on large lots
Stately homes and sizeable lots have long drawn buyers to Manchester Meadows, a residential pocket of northeast Middletown. Mostly comprised of established housing additions, the community has an older demographic of homeowners who rarely put their homes on the market. The community has a median age of 57, and nearly 40% of the population is 65 or older. “They want a place where they can live peacefully and sit on the back porch and get to know their neighbors,” says Melvin Hart, a resident and Realtor with ERA Real Solutions Realty. “Everybody in our neighborhood is retired except for me and my wife and another young couple across the street.”
Many of the Manchester Meadows homes have small front porches.

Spacious homes and parcels in established subdivisions
Subdivisions like Manchester Meadows, Woodhall Court and Stratford Heights have stately homes on spacious lots. “Everyone’s got a huge backyard, and everyone has riding mowers,” Hart says. “There are a lot of half-acre lots, especially in the cul-de-sacs. I’m setting up a putting green in my backyard.” Many of the area’s Colonial Revival, new traditional, split-level and sprawling ranch-style homes were built between the 1970s and 1990s. Homes are 2,000 square feet on average, and attached two-car garages are standard. Prices typically range from $230,000 to $400,000, depending on the size, condition and acreage. It’s rare for homeowners to leave once they’ve planted roots, so homes are hard to come by. “I sold the house right across from me in 18 hours for the listing price,” Hart says. “It’s got to be some kind of life-changing thing for people to move.”
It is common for Manchester Meadows homes to have multiple stories.
