Area Guide
Behind the Rocks Hartford, CT
Just west of Hartford's historic Trinity College, Behind the Rocks took its name from a rocky outcrop that separates the neighborhood from the college campus. The east end of town gives would-be residents an array of houses, condos, and apartments for rent, and those who move here can take I-84 just over three miles north to commute into downtown Hartford. Behind the Rocks exemplifies the classic New England community with its mix of suburban layout and just-off-campus spirit. Within the neighborhood or just outside the borders, residents find numerous options for parks, shopping, entertainment, and dining. Piolin Restaurant, a local gem that serves Peruvian delights, offers both dine-in and delivery options.
