What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Blue Hills Hartford

Has bars, restaurants, and parks that you can exercise and walk in. It's a good place to live and grow.

I really don't like living here because we are isolated with no transportation and everything is out of walking distance and it is too dangerous to walk the streets anyway

People that have lived here for 30 plus years. Favorite restaurant would be Scott's Bakery. We like to go to Copaco Shopping Center to shop.

Our neighborhood has an historic downtown area and it is the county seat, which allows it to be active. We have restaturants that have outside dining and live music. We even have a community theatre, a large amphitheater, and a huge sports league, bike trails, walking trails and our senior citizen center has something every day for the older people. Our friend like to meet up at our local McAlisters restaurant to eat and then watch a play or go to the amphitheater.

There is a family park I can walk to that's interesting for me and my kids the mall is a few chains away we drive because it's mostly cold here

My neighbor hood is quite. We are not far from place to eat like Berry's Fish Hose. Our friends love to come out we have bonfires and relax.
