I would also put these 2 towns at the top of your list. West Hartford has a great walkable downtown area and is a bit more developed/urban than Glastonbury. Glastonbury you will be able to get a bigger yard and house for the same price. But both of these towns are more expensive than average because they are desirable with great schools, but if you can afford it then go for it.

Commute from Glastonbury to Hartford is not bad. 10 minutes on route 2 from center of town to downtown Hartford without traffic, but more like 20 during rush hour.

W. Hartford to E. Hartford commute would be a little worse traffic but still doable.

If your wife ends up working in Hartford and you are working in E. Hartford (Pratt & Whitney??) then I’d choose Glastonbury.

I used to live in w. Hartford, now live in Glastonbury. Never lived in South Windsor but that’s next to east Hartford and seems nice too.

Is it a reasonable expectation to find a home in Glastonbury with public water, sewer and gas?

Yes, I'll be working at Pratt.

There’s a lot of new housing developments that are probably in your price range that have all that. There’s also some really old ones that might not

Can you point me in that direction? Like construction in progress or recent builds?
