Manchester Reviews
Rating 3.49 out of 5 339 reviews
Manchester is the largest city in the state of New Hampshire and offers a variety of amenities and opportunities for its residents. One thing that I really like is that compared to some neighboring states and major cities, the cost of living in Manchester is relatively affordable. Housing prices, utilities, and overall expenses tend to be lower than in metropolitan areas like Boston. However, it's worth noting that the cost of living can vary depending on the neighborhood and specific requirements.
Manchester is a great city in southern New Hampshire located only an hour north of Boston. There are lots of city parks, some excellent restaurants, and lots of cool history. The diversity in Manchester is growing and that makes the city event better!
Manchester is diverse and exciting, filled to the brim with restaurants, art galleries, and areas to shop. However, New Hampshire is an expensive state, and even the largest city is expensive. Rent has skyrocketed in most areas, leaving those below middle class to suffer, work extra, or find roommates. Many of the homeless find a camp within Manchester, drugs are a problem, and the gap between the wealthy and the poor is evident. Little is done to solve Manchester's problems. The worst might be how unsafe the city can be - if you want anything close to affordable rent, you may sacrifice your safety. While Manchester can be interested, beautiful at times, and filled with different ethnicities, beware that there are many problems within this city.
