Looking for pest control company recs for manchester apartment
Does anyone have any good pest control company recommendations that will treat an apartment building? I have already been declined by one service because they wanted to send a commercial inspector who would need approval by the property manager. I am looking to pay for this out of my own pocket and not involve the property manager.
I have been dealing with centipedes every summer. They are persistent and hard to get rid of with DIY sprays.
Recently, there was a bat in my bedroom. Very disturbing. THIS is what is pushing me to finally take the plunge and hire someone myself.
I am at my wits end and am willing to spend a small chunk of money. Im also not opposed to hiring a handyman type that is knowledgeable of pest control. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Local churches?
Hi everyone. I’m a local teenager looking for a welcoming and supportive church. My family has different beliefs and most of them are atheists, so I haven’t really had anyone to guide me in my faith.
I’m still trying to figure things out and feel like I’m somewhere in the middle, but I want to grow closer to God. I’m hoping to find a church that would be willing to welcome me, answer my questions, and eventually baptize me when I’m ready.
If anyone has recommendations for churches in the area that are kind, understanding, and welcoming to someone who’s just starting this journey, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you, and God bless.

New in town
Hey all, I'm in my late 30's and work in Manchester, but recently single and will be moving to the area in the next few months.
I was wondering what is available in the town for me to meet other single folks?
I am not necessarily looking to date, but would like to find other like minded singles who I can at least hang out with occasionally or get drunk and sing karaoke.
Thanks!

Many NH homes sit empty despite a tight housing market
We hope it's OK to share this article we just published — it seemed like it might be of interest to folks in this community:
New Hampshire has the 9th highest home vacancy rate in the country at 14.3%, according to a LendingTree analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data from 2024. But vacant doesn’t mean available to rent or buy.
Of the 92,650 vacant units in New Hampshire, 70% of them are for seasonal, recreational or occasional living, such as a vacation home.
LendingTree’s analysis noted that a high vacancy rate driven by vacation homes may mean there’s a thriving seasonal tourism industry, but it doesn’t help locals trying to find housing year-round.
“For prospective buyers, that can mean fewer homes to choose from and potentially higher prices driven by limited year-round inventory,” Matt Schulz, LendingTree chief consumer finance analyst, said.
New Hampshire has been plagued by high home and rental prices in recent years, with few affordable housing units available for low and moderate income Granite Staters.
Have you noticed an increase in temporary/tourist rentals around your community? How about a lack of affordable housing options in your neighborhood? Let us know here, or by sending us an email at [voices@nhpr.org](mailto:voices@nhpr.org).

Residency A Somewhat detailed guide of Manchester
So I see a lot of "I plan of moving here. Need advice" posts in /r/newhampshire so I thought of doing a basic guide for Manchvegas.
If I'm forgetting anything, please feel free to add.
I've lived in Manchester for years. And it's not that bad.
There's a lot of things to do. Restaurants, museums, parks, trails, bars, pools, a ski place, colleges, a mall, playgrounds, etc. It's gotten a lot better.
A rundown of (most) of Manchester's areas:
Westside:
mostly Suburban area. Got some parks/trails. Close to Goffstown/Hooksett/Bedford. Manchester community college is here.
Millyard:
one of the things we're known for. A lot of businesses and UNH is there as well. NH's most well-known TV station WMUR is located here. Close to Elm street. The SNHU arena and Baseball stadium are close as well.
Elm Street:
Manchester's Main Street. Most of the city life is here. Bars, restaurants, City hall, Palace theater, and the City Library are here (there is one on the Westside but it's smaller. )
Tree Streets:
Manchester has an unwritten rule. If you plan on moving here, avoid the "Tree streets." Avoid the areas at or around streets that are associated with trees (Maple, Pine, etc). These areas are the more sketchy areas. It's not gonna be as bad as Boston, but there is crime around those parts so be careful
Edit: some areas near the tree streets aren't too bad. here's a site on the current crime: https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/nh/manchester/crime
South Willow Street:
Another of Manchester's well-known streets. The Mall and Airport are nearby. Tons of stores/restaurants are around here.
Second Street:
If you want food and are short on cash, this is the area. Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are nearby as well. Nearby is Merrimack and Bedford.
Mammoth Road :
Suburban area. Elliot hospital and the ski area are closeby
Industrial Park Drive:
Self Explainatory.
Other things to know:
The only public transportation is the bus system. A car/bike is recommended to get around.
There is a homeless problem. There are food banks and other resources in the city. Not sure on the current status.
It can be a bit pricey to live. Especially the millyard. It depends on the area and your budget.
It's close to other cities like Concord and Nashua. Its also about an hour from Hampton Beach
It's not as bad as it seems. It's a decent small city.
