Downtown has some nice high-end apartments, but most multi-family houses are pretty tired and not in good shape. The vast majority of dwellings in Hartford are renter-occupied. The college itself is nice and well-maintained, but it's not a safe place to be. The neighborhood that the campus is located in is known as Frog Hollow, and it's not a good area. Unfortunately there are many depressed areas in Hartford, including around Trinity. Is employment a major issue in Hartford for lower-income, non-college grad citizens? In general, the number of multi-families for sale seems awfully high in this area. I have been looking in areas near Trinity College.
In the short-term, I would like to invest in multi-families in Hartford.Īre there any 'depressed' areas I should stay away from? Growing up forever in NYC, I have always longed for a better existence up North, like Norwich, or Mystic.
