Bunker Hill sits atop Waterbury’s west side with suburban charm
In the western part of Waterbury, Bunker Hill is a residential neighborhood with a distinctly suburban feel. Known as one of the city’s hilliest areas, its elevated terrain gives the landscape a scenic quality, with winding streets and varied lot sizes. The neighborhood layout includes a mix of single-family homes, apartment buildings, and small clusters of businesses and office space, but the overall atmosphere leans more family oriented. “I love Bunker Hill,” says Ruth Zeiss, a former resident and Realtor with William Raveis. “It’s attractive for families, but also for single people because it’s so nice and desirable. The price point is higher, but the taxes are lower than Watertown, the next town over. You have a cute park and a new middle school, and it’s an easy commute to New York.” Residents can hop on Interstate 84, which leads 90 miles south to the city, or catch a Metro-North train at the Waterbury station.
Historic Cape Cods and bungalows mix with newer hillside homes
Bunker Hill’s housing landscape features a range of single-family homes, including compact Cape Cods, ranch styles, split-levels, Colonial styles and bungalows with spacious front porches. “Down at the bottom of the hill are older homes, over 100 years old, and homes from the ‘20s and ‘30s in Craftsman-like styles,” Zeiss says. “And then up the hill toward Watertown are the newer homes.” Sizes vary widely, from under 1,000 square feet to more than 4,000, and prices can range from $145,000 to $400,000, with a median sale price of $317,000. Many properties have driveways and manicured lawns dotted with mature trees, and attached garages are often located on the basement level. Sidewalks line some streets, though not all. “The community doesn’t have as urban a feel,” Zeiss says. “You have trees all around, and it’s clean and orderly.”
Schofield Park provides community recreation and events
Bunker Hill Park, also called Schofield Park, is a centrally located community gathering space with athletic fields, a basketball court and a playground. Walnut Hill Community Church, which sits just across the street, plays an active role in organizing neighborhood events at the park. Music Under the Stars is a late summer live music performance, and Trunk or Treat takes place in the fall. On the southwestern edge of the neighborhood, the public Western Hills Golf Course offers 18 holes.
Carrington School and John F. Kennedy High serve the area
Students can begin at Bunker Hill Elementary School, which holds a C-minus rating from Niche. Some also attend Carrington School, a newer kindergarten through eighth-grade option with a C rating. Students can then attend John F. Kennedy High School, which also receives a C and offers leadership programs like the Young Educators Society and the Young Women’s Empowerment Group. W.F. Kaynor Technical High School is located in the neighborhood, offering 31 career and technical education programs, along with athletic teams that compete statewide.
Diners, bistros and grocers keep Bunker Hill residents fed
A handful of local eateries serve the Bunker Hill neighborhood, including Mary’s Diner, a spacious spot for American breakfast. Nearby, Common Grounds Bistro is a rustic café with a small breakfast and lunch menu. Roma Ristorante, located on the north side, offers a more upscale menu of Italian favorites. Cherry Valley Marketplace provides grocery options on the southeast side, and just across the highway, Waterbury Hospital serves the broader community.
Interstate 84 connects locals to New York City
The CT Transit bus serves the neighborhood to help residents get around locally. Car commuters typically use State Route 8 to connect to Interstate 84, which leads south to New York City, about 90 miles away. Waterbury Station is about 2 miles from the neighborhood, with Metro-North rail service to Bridgeport, where passengers can transfer to reach Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan. For further travel, major airports like LaGuardia are accessible from New York City, while Bradley International Airport is about 50 miles north.
