Manchester Home for Rent

Manchester in Port Orchard, located along the Puget Sound, offers scenic views of Seattle’s skyline and Blake Island. The neighborhood is known for its tranquil atmosphere, with Pomeroy Park serving as a community hub since 1923. The park features a beach for sunbathing, picnicking, and water activities, and is close to the Manchester Library, which hosts annual events like the Salmon Bake and Book Sale. Manchester State Park, larger than Pomeroy Park, provides camping facilities, a historic torpedo warehouse, and picnic spots with views of Mount Rainier. The neighborhood’s waterfront homes, including 1940s Cape Cods and 1970s ranch-styles, are designed on stilts to mitigate flooding risks, while inland homes range from ranch-style to Craftsman-influenced designs built in the early 2000s. Main Street in downtown Manchester features locally owned businesses such as Cups Espresso & Café and Manchester Pub, known for its live music. For groceries and home supplies, residents drive at least 5 miles to reach larger stores like Albertsons and Ace Hardware. The South Kitsap County School District serves the area, with schools that have high ratings. Kitsap Transit bus stops along Colchester Drive provide connectivity to the neighborhood, making it accessible for residents and visitors alike.
