About Our Town

Located in the leafy and scenic subrub of CT's capitol, West Hartford is conveniently positioned only 2 hours from NYC and 1.5 hours from Boston. We offer a warm and inviting small town feel coupled with all the amenities of a big city.

Starter homes within eruv (with spacious backyard) begin as low as $220k with apartments and rentals also available near our shuls. The cost of living is low, while the salaries are still comparable to metropolitan centers.

Job opportunities are abundant across all sectors including our massive medical field (5 distinct hospital systems), rich academic circles (9+ institutions of higher learning), growing hi-tech and aero/space engineering fields and of course, the insurance capital of the world next door in Hartford.

Average commute time? 7 minute; 12 minutes with traffic. Not too bad, right?

Our community boasts a rich and diverse Jewish life with vibrant shuls, strong adult educational opportunities, a wealth of social programs and a robust Jewish communal infrastructure: JCC, Jewish Federation, Mikveh, Eruv and so much more. Many of our children attend the New England Jewish Academy – the exciting new Nursey to 12th grade merger of historic Hebrew Academy of Greater Hartford and renowned Hebrew High School of New England.

West Hartford quality of life is wonderful. With lots of parks and activities for families, including fantastic libraries, town sports leagues for adults and kids, West Hartford is surrounded by some of the country’s leading children’s museums, science centers, art exhibits, theaters, amusements parks, and more.
