map of Manchester.
 The
residential portion of the Manchester neighborhood is roughly bounded
by Chateau Street to the west, Western Avenue to the south, Allegheny
Avenue to the east, and the Conrail railroad tracks to the north
and northeast.
Manchester is located north of Downtown, and is surrounded by Chateau, California-Kirkbride,
Central Northside, and Allegheny West.
The neighborhood was originally supported by industrial and
wharf activity
situated on the shore of the Ohio River, and factories loosely woven
into the community. Manchester
is almost exclusively residential.
However,
the community is served by the nearby Allegheny
West
commercial district. The parks surrounding Allegheny Center, as
well as the Children's
Museum,
the National
Aviary, the
Carnegie
Science Center, Heinz
Field and PNC
Park offer a variety of recreational opportunities.
 Manchester is experiencing
what some call its "second golden era." Residents in this
area are working to restore the beautiful and often elegant homes
that rest among the neighborhood's tree-lined streets. Architecturally
distinguished brownstone rowhomes sit side by side with newer, energy
efficient houses adding to the character of the neighborhood.
