Hi all, I work in energy and With a population of 12,347, Manchester is a small town. Median household income is $72,465, which feels about average for the area. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. What would you do? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

I've lived in Downtown for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Houston, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Strong job market in several industries
- The community vibe scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for retirees. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Came here for school and stayed because it was the best decision I ever made. The job market is honestly solid and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
