River town building jobs, homes and visions
Across the Connecticut River from Hartford, the town of East Hartford is growing and expanding with new logistical centers creating more jobs, housing projects and moving forward with plans for a pedestrian-only street. “East Hartford is going through a renaissance,” says Connor Martin, East Hartford’s Mayor since November 2023, and the town’s youngest mayor. “We’re a pass-through town right now, but there is significant change going on.” Recently the town built two logistical centers for Lowe’s and Wayfair, creating 2,000 local jobs. East Hartford also uses its past as a diverse area to help residents gain a world-view. “We’re the second-most diverse town in Connecticut,” says Martin. “It’s important because people get a world-view. It makes a person well-rounded.”

Homes and apartments being built with large range of pricing
“We have several housing projects happening right now,” says Martin. “We’re just trying to build, build, build.” Programs like Habitat for Humanity help with the programs that occur, such as building 10 single-family homes with the first preference being for East Hartford residents. With additional plans to convert buildings into apartments, East Hartford continues to grow. Due to the size of the town, housing styles range, as well as prices. Prices for homes start around $105,000 for a home in need of interior renovations and reach up to $740,000 for a 16-acre property with a Colonial Revival home on it. There are also some manufactured homes to the southwest, beginning around $26,000 and reaching $110,000. Homes generally have space for both a front and backyard, although some homes closer to the center of town will have smaller properties.

It’s this little old lady with a hotdog food truck by Connecticut Boulevard,” says Martin. “It’s probably been there as long as she’s been alive.”
