The Cottages

Centered on the Maquoketa River, Manchester (52057) blends small-town warmth with easy outdoor adventure. Downtown’s Manchester Whitewater Park draws paddlers and tubers in summer, while Tirrill Park, the Delaware County Fairgrounds, and nearby Backbone State Park offer picnic spots, trails, fishing, and winter snow play. You’ll find everyday convenience at Fareway and a Walmart Supercenter, plus cozy coffee shops, casual diners, and Franklin Street Brewing Company for a laid-back night out. Four true seasons shape life here—crisp falls, snowy winters, and sunny, humid summers—and neighbors tend to know each other by name. It’s a family- and pet-friendly place with sidewalks, pocket parks, and community events, and Regional Medical Center anchors local employment. Recent Zillow market trends show a median asking rent around $900 over the past few months, with most listings typically ranging roughly $700 to $1,200. US-20 nearby makes trips to Dubuque or Waterloo straightforward.
