West Hartford’s Town Trails
I live in West Hartford. I’ve lived here since 2000, first renting with a friend, then renting with my new wife, then buying one house, and then moving into another in late 2019. I rather enjoy it, but we have almost no green space. If I were to exclude the MDC property, which I should because it’s not West Hartford’s land, we have next to nothing.
West Hartford LOVES to develop land for commercial or residential use. Loves it. Loves it silly. I see what Simsbury, Glastonbury, Farmington, and Avon do with their open space and get more and more upset about West Hartford every time. Sigh. As a result, my town doesn’t have much to hike beyond the MDC land, but here you are anyway.
