When is $K(\pi, n)$ a manifold?

Given a group $\pi$ and an integer $n>1$, what are examples of Eilenberg-Maclane spaces $K(\pi, n)$ that can be constructed as manifolds?

Constructing $K({\bf Z}, 2)$ as ${\bf CP}^{\infty}$ is the only example I know - but there must be more out there.

Note: I've excluded $n=1$ because most people know examples (or can figure them out) in this case.
