That's good to know, thank you!

It's just way too rural for me, combined with the type of people that want to live rural, small town cops, and nowhere to go and nothing to do.

Second this - and just to be more specific for OP, the events you'll want to be on the lookout for are at the XL Center - street parking will be impossible then, but there's several garages in addition to the excess of lots so it's not really a challenge - especially since you recognize that parking having a cost commensurate to its demand is actually perfectly logical.

Besides that, street parking is easy enough to find, it's not really worth pointing out specific areas, and worst case scenario, the next block you go down will have a lot and/or garage if you happen to get unlucky that day.

Unless there is an event, Hartford has tons of parking (nearly 1/2 of the downtown seems to be parking lots) and the place is usually quite empty.

That's great to hear! Thank you! 😁

Ooh okay that context helps! I work in Hartford and have lived in both Middletown and Manchester and have never really had any parking issues. Street parking in Hartford is free after 6 on weekdays and free on weekends. Weekends are almost always dead and I’ve always found free parking. If you don’t mind paying then I don’t foresee you ever really having an issue, as there are enough paid lots and garages around

I'm happy to pay. I'm mostly thinking of evenings and weekends but I'm interested in the availability of parking during work days as well. Really I just want to know the lay of the land! I'll be moving to the area in a few months and I'm trying to figure out the best place to live, which will depend a bit on whether I can rely on my car for transport most of the time.

I think it really depends where exactly you’re going and what day of the week and time of day, as well as if you’re trying to find free parking or paid parking

It’s that bad?

The Hartford Polish Home as well as St. Cyrl Church across the street

It’ll probably go $100k over asking price

That’s crazy! But the house is on nearly 3.5 acres, has a giant garage space, and is close to 1100 sq ft. Yeah, it’s a lot of money, but that’s a pretty cool property for the right person!

Still way outside of normal. There was an open house on my street 4 weeks ago there was no line like this

IMO very cute house, based off that zillow. Very small too

I doubt it will change things

The Place 2 Be (TP2B). One in downtown Hartford (better) and one in West Hartford. Definitely a fun spot.

Someone that thought they were looking in Durham, NC

hope so, would sure help a lot of my early mid 30s friends that are absolutely struggling to find a house right now

It won't be much longer in my opinion. There's a huge inventory that's going to come online this spring and it's really going to change the market.

Couldn't pay me to live in Durham. Also just as I would expect the cops ticketed everyone parked along the road, rural cops with nothing fucking better to do.

Housing as a commodity is failing.

that's what i don't get. who is looking for an Airbnb in Durham...?

I saw someone in the OP saying this is airbnb bait and they're right but who the hell is booking an airbnb out there??

because the housing market is atrocious in CT right now generally

especially in fucking Durham lmao
