Property & development
Home values
How the City has assessed property in Old Town Manchester, 2022–2026.
Of Old Town Manchester's $499M in assessed-value growth since 2022, new construction drove most of it — about 55% ($272M): new buildings and major projects. The rest is the City reassessing existing property at higher values. How we tell construction from reassessment →
Typical home is the median change across the 343 homes assessed in both 2022 and 2026 — half rose by more, half by less. Growth rank places Old Town Manchester among the 133 Richmond neighborhoods with at least 50 such homes (1 = fastest growth).
