Default considering real estate purchase in hartford/west hartford

I moved to CT a year ago and have been renting- now it's time to buy something. I am considering Hartford and West Hartford. W. Hartford looks cool but I wonder if other areas of Hartford might be good options as well. I don't care about school districts right now and the taxes in WH seem high. I work at UCONN and am aware that this is a commute but I also would like to live someplace that is more urban than what the Storrs/Mansfield area has to offer. Any ideas on different Hartford neighborhoods I could consider or would I be best to just look in W.Hartford? Thanks very much.

It would depend on what price range you are looking in. Manchester (East of the River is nice too but very different than West Hartford. I just spent Sunday afternoon driving some clients around on the east side and it truely does have a different feel than say West Hartford, Farmington or Avon areas. Now is a good time to start looking for real estate as a lot of homes are begining to come on the market. I live in West Hartford so if you have any questions labout this town or others on the west side let me know either in here or via a message.

Check out Manchester.

It's affordable, access to pretty much everything and has a younger diverse vibe about it. I moved here about 5 years ago and love it.
