Hello seaglassmomma,
The Enders Rd/Eagle Hill area is a very nice suburban area of excellent homes at Manlius zip 13104.
There is a TOWNSHIP OF MANLIUS and there is a TOWNSHIP OF POMPEY. They are two separate >>TOWNSHIPS<< that have their own separate TOWNSHIP Governments. And there is a VILLAGE OF MANLIUS with their VILLAGE government. As another separate example, THE TOWNSHIP OF CICERO has several settlements/"villages" and zip codes within its' TOWNSHIP: Cicero area zip code 13039, Bridgeport area zip 13030, Brewerton area 13029, North Syracuse area 13212, part of East Syracuse area 13057, and part of Kirkville area 13082; all zip code AREAS delivering mail to parts of the TOWNSHIP OF CICERO.
I believe that children in parts of the TOWNSHIP OF POMPEY (NOT the Hamlet-NOT the tiny Pompey settlement) do attend Fayetteville-Manlius School District. Children who live in other parts of the TOWNSHIP OF POMPEY may attend Fabius-Pompey School District or MAYBE attend Cazenovia Schools or Jamesville-Dewitt schools; not positive about school district borders.
A large north portion of the TOWNSHIP OF POMPEY has a Manlius area postal zip code 13104, another portion has a Jamesville area zip code 13078, a large southern portion has a Fabius area zip code 13063, a western slice has a LaFayette area zip code 13084, and lastly people can have a Pompey-(Hamlet) Post Office >BOX< with a zip code 13138; there's also a very small slice with a Cazenovia area zip code 13035. Many TOWNSHIPS (I don't mean Villages/Hamlets/Towns) do have OTHER VILLAGES/HAMLETS/AREAS in their TOWNSHIP with their own distinct zip codes. For instance, other zip codes IN the TOWNSHIP OF MANLIUS (NOT MANLIUS VILLAGE) ARE: Fayetteville area zip 13066, East Syracuse area 13057, Kirkville area 13082, Minoa village 13116, and a small slice of the Chittenango area 13037 .
Notice that Post Office zip code DELIVERY/coverage areas can cross TOWNSHIP borders. For instance the East Syracuse AREA Post Office zip code covers mail delivery to parts of the TOWNSHIPS of Manlius & Dewitt & Cicero.
The TOWNSHIP OF POMPEY, for the most part, is High Hill rural countryside land; far higher above Syracuse city and the other suburbs-some land with beautiful views across the Central New York region. In recent years many new large scale style homes have/are being built many times on 3 to 5 acre properties. Of course there are other new homes built on smaller properties and there are older homes from the past in the TOWNSHIP also.
I hope that my explanation of the above zip codes and TOWNSHIP designation vs. VILLAGE/HAMLET/TOWN designation may have cleared-up your questions on those subjects. When a realtor shows you any property, they can tell you which school district children attend and the appropriate ZIP CODE for the property you are visiting. Best of luck to you.
