In 2010, West Hartford was ranked by Kiplinger Personal Finance as “Best Cities for the Next Decade” stating “This once-sleepy suburb of Connecticut’s capital is not content to be merely an idyllic place to live and raise a family (it is, by the way). West Hartford made our list because it is transforming itself from a suburb into a destination -- in this case, a regional destination for shopping and dining.”
