Notre Dame Homes for Rent

Notre Dame, located in Manchester’s West Side, is a neighborhood with a rich history and a blend of historic and modern charm. Originally a French Canadian enclave, it now boasts a diverse community while retaining its historic character. The neighborhood features urban, sidewalk-lined streets with early 20th-century saltbox and Queen Anne-style three-story apartment buildings. Single-family Cape Cod homes and multifamily buildings are more common towards the west, with the Valley West condo development offering additional housing options. Despite rising rents, the area remains more affordable than downtown Manchester. Notre Dame’s quiet residential streets host a few small markets and restaurants, with most dining and shopping options found on nearby Kelley Street or across the Merrimack River in downtown Manchester. Key features include the Piscataquog Trail for biking, Simpson Park and Lafayette Park for outdoor activities, and the SNHU Arena and Delta Dental Stadium for entertainment just across the river. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, adding to its appeal. Students attend Gossler Elementary, the Middle School at Parkside, and Manchester High School West, with Holy Family Academy providing a highly rated private school option. The Catholic Medical Center, located within the neighborhood, offers employment opportunities, and Manchester Transit provides bus services to downtown and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. For longer travel, Boston Logan International Airport is an hour away.
