About Manchester

Manchester is a quiet Finger Lakes village in Ontario County that offers a small-town pace with an easy commute. Sitting just south of the Thruway and Route 96, it makes getting to Rochester, Canandaigua, or Geneva simple and convenient. The community grew up around the Lehigh Valley Railroad, and while the busy rail yards of the past have quieted down, the village has held onto its unpretentious, down-to-earth character.

Day-to-day life centers around a walkable core and the Canandaigua Outlet, which flows right through town. You can take a peaceful walk along the Manchester Gateway Trail to catch views of the old railroad trestle and the water, or head a few minutes down the road to enjoy the restaurants, parks, and lakefront in neighboring Canandaigua. It is a solid, affordable option for anyone looking for a relaxed community with plenty of outdoor space and easy access to the rest of the region.
