Manchester at a glance
Half of Manchester's homes were built before 1963, which makes it a mid-century town at heart. Original driveways, patios and steps from that building boom are coming due at about the same time.
Single-family homes make up 46% of Manchester's housing; the rest is condos, two-families and apartments, which brings property managers and associations into the mix.
The median home in Manchester was built in 1963, close to the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door Hartford (median 1953) and older than South Windsor (1980).
| Median year homes were built | 1963 |
|---|---|
| Homes built before 1960 | 46% |
| Single-family detached homes | 46% |
| Owner-occupied homes | 55% |

By property
Building in Manchester
- Foundations
- Manchester is about 17 miles from the former J.J. Mottes plant in Stafford Springs. Homes with foundations poured from the early 1980s on should rule out pyrrhotite before foundation work; see our crumbling foundations guide.
- Right-of-way
- Most Manchester streets have public sidewalks and curbs, so aprons and walks usually need a town permit.
- Permits
- Connecticut has one statewide building code, so footings go 42 inches deep in Manchester like everywhere else. What's local is the paperwork: Manchester's building department for structures, public works or engineering for the right-of-way, and the inland wetlands commission near water.
- Utilities
- We call 811 (Call Before You Dig) at least two full business days before every excavation.

For housing like Manchester's (half the homes built before 1963, 46% single-family detached), the jobs that usually come first are concrete foundations, concrete driveways and concrete steps.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Manchester?
It depends on the job. Driveways, patios and walks on your own lot usually don't need a building permit. Aprons and public sidewalks are town right-of-way work with a permit; foundations, walls over 4 feet and many new steps need a building permit from Manchester's building department.
