New Britain Overview

Located just nine miles from the hub of Hartford, New Britain is a working class city full of blue collar pride and plenty of worldly amenities. With a population of over 70K and a sound economic base, this Connecticut locale is often affectionately referred to as 'Hardware City', thanks to the home base of operations for Black and Decker.

What is the history of New Britain?

Chartered in 1871, New Britain took its name in homage to England, and through the years has established itself as a popular region for Polish-American citizens. A number of hardware titans make their home in the city, including Corbin Locks, and New Britain is the birthplace of the first wire coat hanger. In addition to its proud history of manufacturing, the city is home to a number of medical industries, including the Hospital of Central Connecticut.

How is the weather in New Britain?

Summers can be hot in the region, with snow commonplace in the winter and spring known for being the rainy season. Autumn nights are highlighted by crisp, cooler air and plenty of seasonal leaf colorings.

How do I get around town?

Connecticut Transit offers bus service to much of the community, and rail by Amtrak is never far away. Most of those living in New Britain apartments claim ownership of at least one personal vehicle, and Hartford acts as the closest airport.

What is the New Britain commute like?

Route 9 acts as the major thoroughfare into and out of the city proper, and I-84 and beyond that I-91 lead to Hartford and beyond. Those commuting to larger job markets can expect some typical 9-to-5 rush hour delays, but overall traffic in the area tends to move along fairly well.

What are the local media outlets?

The New Britain Herald is the most widely-read print media in the city, and radio stations such as WKSS and WFCS cater to modern popular tunes. Most major television broadcasting is readily available as well, thanks to nearby affiliates in Hartford. Additionally, NPR and an assortment of public radio can be found with ease.

Why live in New Britain, CT?

For those desiring a blue collar environment that is ideal for raising a family or starting a trade career, New Britain apartments might just be the perfect fit. Offering much of the scenic, historic charm that larger Connecticut is known for, this quaint east coast locale also boasts much in the way of natural beauty, public parklands and area schools.

What New Britain landmarks should I see?

The Walnut Hill Rose Garden contains over 800 of the flowery delights, and the New Britain Industrial Museum pays homage to the city's past and ever-brightening future. Stag Arms has been manufacturing impressive firearms for decades, and the popular 'Little Poland' district offers much in the way of music, crafts and, you got it, culinary delights.

What is there to do around New Britain?

The New Britain Museum of American Art is the oldest of its kind in the nation, and the Hole In The Wall Theatre makes a great dramatic evening out with friends. The Connecticut Chamber Orchestra calls the city home, and Walnut Hill Park was master planned by the same architect of New York's famed Central Park, both located just a short distance from numerous New Britain apartments.

Any annual festivals or New Britain events to know?

The annual Little Poland Festival is far and away the largest event in the city, drawing large, enthusiastic crowds every year and offering plenty of food, music and heritage. The nearby Hindinger Farm Strawberry Festival has also proven itself a hit with New Britain apartment residents, while the Summer Music Festival series stretches from June to August, presenting an array of live jazz, western and classical fare.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Hit the scenic beaches of the Jersey Shore for some fun on the boardwalk, or take to the bright lights of Broadway with a New York City getaway weekend. Both upstate New York and plenty of Connecticut itself offer much in the way of camping, fishing and other outdoor activities, while nearby Hartford boasts antique shops and a world of culinary and nightlife excitement.
