East Hartford sits directly across the Connecticut River from the capital, a blue-collar town built around Pratt & Whitney's jet-engine plant and the generations of aerospace families it drew. Its senior-care inventory is smaller and more modest than West Hartford's across the river, and families here often widen the search toward Manchester and Hartford's East Side.
