There are some great east of the river towns- driving into Hartford in the morning is so much easier because you have the sun at your back, and the sun at your back in the way home as well. I’ve lived on both sides and currently live in South Windsor - nice family town with good trick or treating!

That is an excellent point. I guess it maybe an unfair question to ask if west side is better than east so maybe I should ask if either I see is worse than the other? Easier to pick between good and bad options vs two good options haha

I have lived on both sides. Better restaurants and mall west of the river, but people are much nicer east of the river.

There's an old joke about how the people from the east side of the river are 'those people.' The west side has the more affluent areas CT is known for. The east can have more of a country feel. Rhode Island vs New York.
