The “safe” neighborhoods in Hartford are not affordable. Everything is a la carte nowadays, too. So rent might set you back $1500, but then utilities and other amenities will add another $500-$1000. I’ve always used FB Marketplace and Craigslist to find my apartments in Hartford. Also, hit up Becky Koladis for Hartford rentals: rkoladis@bhhsne.com

Ask her about Bushnell Tower. It’s a beautiful high rise right downtown with a remote control access parking garage below. The units usually come with everything included. Rents go from $1100-$3000/month.
