East End District blends affordability with urban convenience

East End District is a mixed-property neighborhood just outside downtown Waterbury, home to both commercial and residential establishments. “Living here is like living in a big city with a small-town atmosphere,” says Lana Ogrodnik, a local Realtor with Showcase Realty, Inc., who has sold real estate in this area for several decades. “Everybody knows everybody, and there is a lot of emphasis on community and outreach groups.” One of the area’s biggest draws is its relatively affordable housing costs, offering some of the lowest housing prices in the state. East End District has an overall CAP Index Crime Score of 6 out of 10, slightly higher than the national average score of 4.

Historic Hamilton Park anchors a neighborhood full of green space

East End District is home to several local parks: “These parks in this area are always active, and there’s plenty of outdoor recreation,” Ogrodnik says. Hamilton Park, which was established in 1898, is the city’s oldest official park. Historic landmarks and relics are displayed throughout the 93-acre park, including disassembled mechanical parts from the Waterbury Brass Mill. The park also has a public pool, community theater, playground with an adjacent splash pad and several athletic facilities for the community's Little League and youth soccer teams. “The pool facility is pretty new; it was just recently updated,” Ogrodnik says. Fairlawn Playground is another park area with a play structure for kids and a basketball court, located in the middle of a residential area. Within a mile of East End District are the Woodtick Recreation Area and Finch Brook Preserve, two large natural land areas overseen by the city of Wolcott and the Wolcott Land Conservation Trust. At the Finch Brook Preserve, visitors can hike trails across over 60 acres of protected wetlands and forests. The Woodtick Recreation Area features sporting amenities, picnicking areas and cooking facilities like charcoal grills.
