I had a great experience! Everyone I met was very nice. Certain areas were more run down and surrounding neighborhoods would play loud music very late into the night. But other than that, everything was great. The school system is not the best I hear, but I do not have kids, so it is not a concern to me
I like East Hartford, Connecticut because it is a diverse town. It is also connected with many different retail, grocery and other commercial outlets. It is a simple three minute drive from where I live to either Stop and Shop and the Burlington store and a three minute drive to Shoprite of Manchester and all of the fast food chains surrounding the area from McDonald's, Popeyes, Subway, etc. There is also Wickham Park which provides a panorama of the neighboring capital of Hartford, Connecticut and the beautiful trees in the distance which become particularly accentuated during the fall season with the very vibrant warm colors of yellow, orange and red. The community is also very diverse and there are a lot of cultural events that happen all the time in East Hartford, from fairs, etc. As far as what can change about East Hartford, there can be better relations with the police department and more transparency regarding community policing. Also, citizens should engage the leaders.
I moved to East Hartford when I was in 8th grade. I grew up in Hartford, CT. I can say throughout the years of being a resident here, I feel safe and protected. I’ve never had an issue with my safety or feeling uncomfortable. I live by a police station which is also another reason I feel safer. My siblings attend an amazing school who give great education opportunities and etc. The diversity in East Hartford is also great. Im happy to live here, and plan on staying for the next couple of years.
