This question comes up a lot in the NH and Manchester subreddits. I usually recommend taking a look at this map. The tree street advice is a bit outdated at this point imo. Parts of Elm, Chestnut, Beech, Maple and Ash are in beautiful parts of the city with million-dollar homes.

Particular areas to avoid include the area where the grid diverts between Central High School (South St, Jane St, etc.), the Cumbies by Bronstein Park, and most of the Kalivas Union neighborhood. On the west side you'll want to avoid the Piscataquog and parts of the Notre Dame neighborhood south of Sullivan St. Most of these areas are just run down rather than dangerous. If you're not looking for trouble or selling drugs they're usually fine to drive through. Welcome to our fair city, let us know if you have any questions about particular streets.

That map has some decent/nice neighborhoods in red. Trust your instincts, the sketchy areas look sketchy. Drive around, see what looks good and not good, you’ll know.
