As the name of the town suggests, East Hartford borders Hartford’s east side, directly across the Connecticut River. Primarily a residential community with a large population of commuters, East Hartford rentals have a lot to offer beyond just a quiet home life. Rentschler Field at the center of town regularly hosts large sporting events (as the home field for the UConn Huskies football team in particular) and concerts. Several large parks and a scenic riverfront provide ample playgrounds for residents to enjoy the outdoors. With Hartford being so close, residents of East Hartford can easily access the cultural resources of the larger city, including the XL Center, Hartford Stage, and XFINITY Theatre.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
