Robertson
Suburban Neighborhood in Manchester, Connecticut
Hartford County 06042
Detached homes, duplexes, condos and more
Housing styles differ across subdivisions. Some homes along Elvree Street show Cape Cod influence, with a dormer window peeking out of one side of the roof and a second-story addition on the other side. Other models more closely resemble bungalows, with a single, centered dormer. On streets that branch off Union Street, homebuyers will find Colonial Revival duplexes with between one and three stories, as well as the occasional ranch- and raised ranch-style home. Main Street and Tolland Turnpike offer an eclectic mix of Cape Cod, Colonial Revival and ranch-style homes, even with an occasional Italianate or Carpenter Gothic home. Nearer to Oakland Street, condos and townhouses are common. Most residential streets have sidewalks on one side of the road. Single-family detached homes and duplexes typically sell for between $250,000 and $350,000, while townhouses and condos go for between $175,000 and $275,000.

Enjoying the outdoors in Robertson
Union Pond sits on the east side of the neighborhood, a great spot for fishing, hiking, biking or just enjoying nature. Northwest Park is just next door, with amenities such as a baseball diamond, volleyball courts, a pavilion and a butterfly garden. Wickham Park, a 250-acre private park located on the west side, is notable for its various gardens, such as a Japanese garden and a sensory garden, which can be reserved for events like weddings ceremonies and photo sessions. “That’s where I got my wedding pictures done,” Hamilton says. “So did someone from my office 30 years ago. It’s been a popular spot for a while.” The park also offers a 26-hole disc golf course and nature center.

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.
