West Hartford is the Capitol Region's most established and affluent inner suburb, built around the walkable West Hartford Center and Blue Back Square retail-and-residential district. Its senior population is large and long-tenured, which has pulled in more assisted living, memory care, and CCRC campuses per square mile than almost anywhere else in the region.
