Bloomfield

north suburb · 06002

A north-side Hartford suburb that quietly went from insurance-company bedroom community to one of the region's more diverse middle-class towns, with a sizable Jamaican and West Indian population giving the strip malls along Cottage Grove genuine character. Wintonbury Mall it is not. Dating here is suburban-pragmatic: Auer Farm in the fall, Penwood State Park on a Sunday, dinner at Scott's Jamaican Bakery if you want to telegraph that you actually live here. Young professionals priced out of West Hartford increasingly land in Bloomfield and pretend it was always the plan. The CT Transit bus runs late enough to matter.
