Our family has lived in West Hartford for the past 14 years, moving here from Boston.
The neighborhoods are incredibly family friendly and the town offers extensive programs and services. Our two boys have benefitted from a strong school system where they have been exposed to a well-rounded slate of academic offerings. They have both been able to take a broad range of classes including automotive repair, American sign language and computer science. Additionally, they have both participated in school athletics, including soccer, swimming and track. Beyond what it offered for families with children, there is a vibrant downtown with shops and restaurants, numerous recreation facilities and a strong history that is celebrated. One of the historic figures with a presence in town is Noah Webster. His home is not only a historic site to tour and learn about the towns rich history but it is available for parties and other gatherings. We are grateful to have been part of this community.

West Hartford is a wonderful town with a generally liberal community. However, it is hard to find entry-level employment, even with a bachelor’s degree. Additionally, there is not much to do besides go to the mall or restaurants. Many business close early compared to other areas.
I cannot complain too much, though, as West Hartford is safe and has amazing public education.

I've lived in West Hartford for ten years now. I've attended the public middle school King Philip and high school Hall. West Hartford has a very good public school system. Moreover, there are a ton of restaurant throughout town which give many local options to the residents here and in the surrounding areas. There are also a ton of parks and green spaces in town. However, there is a lack of diversity, especially in certain areas of West Hartford.
