Which condos in Manchester, NH are FHA-approved?

Manchester, New Hampshire, and the Merrimack River in winter

Short answer

HUD's list showed 15 FHA-approved condo complexes in Manchester when Tom checked it on November 2, 2026. Many of the city's older multi-family buildings have been converted to condos, so it's worth checking a building's status before an FHA offer. A condo that isn't on the list may still qualify through FHA's single-unit approval, or with a conventional loan.

What if a Manchester condo isn't on the list?

A single unit may still qualify through FHA's single-unit approval if the project meets HUD's requirements, including being complete and having at least five units. That rules out many two- to four-unit conversions, which are usually financed with conventional loans instead, as long as the project meets the lender's condo rules. Request the association's questionnaire and budget early, since the lender reviews the project as well as your finances.

How much do Manchester taxes add to a condo payment?

Manchester's 2025 rate is $20.24 per $1,000 of assessed value, about $169 a month for each $100,000 of assessed value. The city assessed at about 64.8% of market value in 2025, so the tax on a condo is usually less than the rate times the price. Association dues count in the payment a lender uses to qualify you. Manchester is in Hillsborough County, where the 2026 FHA limit for a one-unit home is $589,950.
