Great place to start a family or just enjoy the community. Plenty of playgrounds, interactive summer camps, free programs/clubs at the libraries and an up-and-coming downtown area to enjoy. The past few years the town really upgraded the downtown area, bringing in and revamping the restaurants, shops and the overall feel of the center of town. The addition of a large common area with a stage brings the community together as many young musicians and choir groups from the local schools preform along with other live music acts.

West Hartford is a great city to live in; there are so many places for outdoor activities, as well as local shops and restaurants. You will never be bored when you live in West Hartford!
I have lived in West Hartford my whole life and I love it here. We have a great common area here with a lot of shops and restaurants such as Chipotle, Risottos, bar taco. We also have another place just a short walk from this common called blue back square. This little area consists of shops and some more restaurants. There is also a stage that is used every so often for special events like a Holiday Stroll or even a Fire on Ice event for Chanukah.
