Learn more about renting in Hartford, CT

There were ornate manors and rose gardens sitting along meandering creeks in the Connecticut countryside. There were houses, churches and buildings already a century old, and the Industrial Revolution was well under way. The result was an incredibly prosperous city, whose vestiges still stand among the historic homes of Hartford today.

After decades of poverty and crime, Hartford has found its source of strength again. The former Colt complex has been converted into a live-work space that combines luxury apartments and specialty businesses, shops, cafes, restaurants, and galleries (as well as the Hartford Academy for the Arts!). Meanwhile, passionate locals breathe life into their community with organizations such as the League of Xtraordinary Youth (LXY) and the Underground Coalition. They raise funds and foster grassroots projects promoting art, culture, and general awesomeness - the likes of which you will see at places like Heaven Skate Park in Downtown Hartford.

Local artists, musicians, and dancers collaborate on other cultural wonders, such as the annual Night Fall celebration, which welcomes the coming winter with live music, giant puppets, and a unique winter ritual.

Then there’s the intellectual side of the equation. The colleges and universities of Hartford add an increasingly vibrant business, entertainment, and foodie scene. And with all the brainiacs attending the University of Hartford, Trinity College, and UConn Hartford, you’re sure to see even more creative and innovative contributions to the city’s future.

It’s an exciting time to be alive in Hartford, so let’s find a good home base to rent while you watch this city become great again!
