The Bowers Elementary School neighborhood in Manchester, CT is one of the most popular areas for affordable homes in Manchester.  Bowers Elementary School is located on Princeton Street, one of the most beautiful streets in Manchester, CT.

 

Bowers Elementary School Neighborhood

Just off of Middle Turnpike East, near Illing Middle School and the Manchester Police Department, Princeton Street is a wide, sidewalked street with a canopy of tall trees over the road that creates a stunning picture every season of the year.



Many of the streets off Princeton have the same type of feeling as Princeton--nicely cared for lawns, traditional homes with lots of character, and sidewalks for easy access to other neighborhoods. Families in this area are within easy walking distance to the Manchester Head Start School, Bowers Elementary School, Illing Middle School, and Manchester High School.



Centrally located, the Bowers Elementary School neighborhood are close to everything that Manchester has to offer.  Within walking distance from Bowers Elementary School is a small plaza with a convenience store, sandwich shop, hair salon, and a very popular pizzeria and restaurant, Manchester Pizza and Grill.
