84 Ardmore Rd Unit 1

West Hartford combines small-town charm with a big-city feel. The downtown area features plenty of historic buildings, while contemporary additions to the area include a mix of apartments and homes and a revitalized retail area at the center of town. West Hartford has a village atmosphere just 120 miles away from New York City.

This area sits six miles due west of Hartford's city center, and a short drive east on Interstate 84 gets you to Downtown Hartford near the banks of the Connecticut River. Hop on Interstate 95, and head south two and a half hours to reach New York City.

West Hartford Public Schools services the area. Several private institutions provide educational alternatives, such as the American School for the Deaf, Hebrew High School of New England and Kingswood Oxford. The University of Saint Joseph, University of Hartford, UConn Law School, UConn Med School, and Trinity College represent the local institutions of higher education.
