Multi-family housing near downtown
Frog Hollow was developed between about 1850 and 1930, and still contains a remarkable concentration of residential housing from that period. The area is mostly defined by multi-family buildings, with prices typically ranging between $250,000 and $400,000. Townhomes in the Quaker Green subdivision are also available, many of which built in the early 2010s and come with modern appliances and garages.

Pope Park and community gardening
Pope Park is a 79-acre park that offer residents a greenspace in an urban setting with two athletic fields, a recreation center, a pond, basketball courts, an outdoor pool and other amenities. A local group, Friends of Pope Park, advocates to preserve the park and ensure it continues to do so as it has for more than a century. This includes developing a community garden in which residents can apply and work their own garden plots.

Easy access to downtown

Union Station provides rail service to Springfield and New Haven, which connects with the Amtrak Northeast Corridor service. CT Transit provides intercity bus services from downtown Hartford to its neighborhoods.Local shops along Park Street
As a mixed-use neighborhood, Frog Hollow is characterized by retail shops, residences and nearby schools. Park Street is a main road through the neighborhood, and it features wide sidewalks for pedestrian traffic to frequent the shops, boutiques, cafes, bars, banks and general commercial activity of an active neighborhood. Just over a mile away is downtown Hartford, offering residents access to theaters, museums, restaurants and shopping. El Mercado offers Hispanic grocery shopping and a variety of restaurants to residents. In addition, there are local markets, salons, convenience stores within the neighborhood as well as several national chain stores. There is a new branch of the Hartford Public Library in the neighborhood, built on the site of the historic Lyric Theater.

Neighborhood revitalization
As diverse as Frog Hollow is, it is supported by a dedicated Neighborhood Revitalization Zone organization. While the main goal for this group is to revitalize Frog Hollow through the collaborative involvement of residents and businesses, it is also responsible for developing and promoting neighborhood activities such as festivals and information meetings. Another organization “activated” a vacant lot with the help of grant funds to create a community space in which residents gather for events, workshops and activities. It has become a place that people congregate, using it for barbeques, special events and creating art and murals on the walls. Another local organization is active throughout the year running successful and sustainable social enterprises and providing local food access through a farmers’ market.

Local businesses don't thrive like the major businesses do and often find them closing in a short period of time.

I would only move back if I still had my friends. It needs a complete redo on the public transportation system and better police action with crime
