I appreciated seeing this answer- I moved to Glastonbury 3 months ago, work downtown Hartford and thought it would be a super easy commute. But the Route 2 ‘construction’ (in quotes because it’s not like lanes are shut down) makes it a solid 30+ minute commute during busy hours (7-830 am and 430-6 p.m.). Have you found the same? It’s a guaranteed 15-20 min drive if I WFH until like 9 am or leave work after 6.

Agreed - not surprising at all esp at that time of day, either early or late.

Same, except I’m occasionally Tuesday or Wednesday on one of the Delta flights out at 545/6 lol. The last time I had an Uber ready for en route and he canceled when about 5 mins away, I had to change plans and drive. Luckily precheck only had a few people in line otherwise I would have been really tight for time.

Curious to know how you know this is accurate. I’ve had a tough time getting an Uber from BDL to Glastonbury after 11, I gave up on Uber after a few long waits. Now I usually just pay the parking garage fees, leaving my car there to drive home. Also, OP - where are you going to from bdl? The further away your destination is, the less likely you’ll find a driver (my own experience only).

Inventory is super low right now, and pricing is kind of wonky: I have a friend who is a realtor in the area and he describes it as follows. 50% houses are over-priced in an effort to cash in and are staying on the market, 25% are fairly priced and go quickly for asking or above, and 25% are homeowners not really interested in selling but testing the waters so price is variable. As a result, buyers are all over the map - I toured two houses at the same price point: one had significant signs of basic concern - foundation, code violations, water damage, and the other had none. Both were in equivalent neighborhoods but the first was under contract for a little under asking within 1 month while the second sat for 6 months and underwent two Price reductions. I’ve bought twice in CT in Hartford county and the current market is just…really weird.
