Blue Hills
Blue Hills is the Hartford neighborhood that suburban Connecticut forgets is Hartford. Tree-lined, single-family, historically the landing pad for the city's Black middle class, and still anchored by the kind of homeowners who have been on the same block since the Weicker administration. The housing is solid mid-century stock at prices that would be a punchline in West Hartford across the line. The tradeoff: it is residential to a fault. Dating life here means driving somewhere else, because the neighborhood itself offers churches, the university, and not much that qualifies as a third place after 8 p.m. Good for settling. Quiet for meeting.
