Where is Manchester?
Manchester is an architecturally rich and diverse neighborhood possessing the feel of a vibrant community within the urban landscape.
Manchester is located just minutes from downtown Pittsburgh, all major attractions, and is easily accessible via an extensive highway system. Located along the east bank of the Ohio River, the community is roughly bounded to the north by the Conrail Railroad, to the west by Chateau Street, to the east by Allegheny Avenue, and to the south by Western Avenue.
The neighborhood comprises one of the largest historic districts in the
city and boasts some of the finest examples of nineteenth and early
twentieth century architecture in the southwestern Pennsylvania region.
