Hartford is Connecticut's capital and the Capitol Region's urban core — home to the insurance industry's headquarters towers, a dense stock of early-20th-century apartment buildings, and by far the metro's deepest and most varied senior-care inventory, from small ALSA-served residential settings tucked into city neighborhoods to larger campuses just over the town line. It's also one of Connecticut's poorest cities, which keeps pricing here at the low end of the region even as the selection runs wide.
