If you are thinking of buying your first home in West Hartford, why not choose a neighborhood that remains popular in these uncertain times. During 2008, there were 56 purchases of single-family homes in Webster Hill (MLS statistics). This is essentially unchanged from the 57 sales in 2007. These properties sold quickly, with 32 of the 56 sales going to contract in 30 days or less. The median time on market was only 23 days in this neighborhood.
Almost everyone can find a home in this elementary school district, with prices paid last year ranging from $120,000 (30 Elmhurst Circle) to $782,000 (215 South Main Street). In terms of sales price, the median price paid was $253,000 for 30 Boswell. This home offered an updated kitchen and family room. A 1,766 sf cape with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths plus a 1-car garage, this home is within easy walking distance of both Webster Hill Elementary School and Conard High School.
The Webster Hill neighborhood is near Blue Back Square and West Hartford Center, yet separate enough to escape traffic congestion from all our out-of-town visitors. Rockledge Golf Course (public, 18-holes), the Noah Webster House, and Angelo's on Main (restaurant, tavern) are all part of the neighborhood along South Main Street. Most of the homes are located on quiet streets with sidewalks.
