Hello,

I'm a student who's likely headed to UConn School of Law this year and I'm actively in search of an affordable apartment in a safe environment near the law school. So, apartments in the West End of Hartford, West Hartford, and Downtown Hartford are currently on my list of options. But I noticed that the cost of housing in West Hartford and Downtown Hartford is quite pricey compared to the West End. This led me to take an interest in West End Rental in 192 Whitney Street, Hartford, CT 06105. There are no reviews by tenants posted online but since my number one priority is safety, I would like to know if 192 Whitney Street, Hartford is considerably safe. To anyone who has experience living in the area, I need your help! Would any of you recommend 192 Whitney Street for grad students?

I lived in an apartment on Whitney when I was in my 20’s. Great neighborhood. Some highlights: Mo’s Midtown, Ichiban, Tangiers. Sisson ave pizza is only acceptable if you won’t remember it in the morning. RIP the Half Door

I was a paramedic in Hartford for a good while so I know the area well. I wouldn’t have any concern about living on that street. You are surrounded on all sides there by some pretty nice neighborhoods.

Haha is it still (approximately) area 9? It’s been a good while since I was there but I have fond memories running with Canning, Gordon, Gartley, Dennis, Lackey, Shovak, Crosskey, Milner, Goodman, Borjio, Anderson, even my boy Sousa who I guess is a supervisor now? So many others. Stay safe out there.

I moved right down the street last summer and can tell you that I absolutely adore this neighborhood. My upstairs neighbors are law students and my downstairs neighbor is a doctor. It's a great block to be on, right next to Elizabeth park and UConn law. Feel free to DM me if you have questions.

Used to live across the street. Great little neighborhood right next to Elizbeth park. Street traffic a little loud sometimes. But other than that I can't complain

I live on the same street, up a few houses. It's safe and nice. Nothing to worry about.

Lived on that street. Totally safe and pleasant neighborhood, long as your housemates are normal you’re all set

Hartford is safe but the vibes of people asking these questions is tiring and giving white privilege. Do better.

It’s a legitimate concern, and parts of Hartford are by no means “safe”.
