Moving to Hartford area

in Connecticut Babies

My husband just accepted a job that is based out of Windsor Locks, north of Hartford.

We are looking to purchase a home in that area in the next few months.

I'd love some tips on "good" cities or towns to live in.  I'm more of a city girl and love walking to restaurants, shops, playgrounds, etc.  But since we now have a baby school systems are more of a factor.  Any advice you can provide would be appreciated!  TIA!

    We bought a house in South Windsor last year and I love it here. My husband grew up here and the school system is really good.

    Good Luck with the move.

    You may want to look into Suffield area from what I've heard and Granby as well seems like a nice place (both of which are north of hartford as well). I'd check school listing websites. The school listings can help you know which are good neighborhoods.

    Like the OP suggested, Windsor Locks is a great area. When we were house hunting a few years ago, we had looked at a few places in WL and they were really nice. But, we decided being from NY, we wanted somewhere a bit closer to NY. Another nice area fairly close to Hartford is Glastonbury. There are beautiful places there also. Quite a few people I work with live there.

    Good luck!!!
