Avon
Mountain-edge suburb between Hartford and the Farmington Valley
Avon sits on the southeast slope of the Talcott Mountain ridge, just over Avon Mountain from West Hartford. The town is one of the most affluent in the Hartford region and is dominated by single-family homes on half-acre to multi-acre lots, with notable concentrations of high-end colonials and contemporaries on the upper slopes overlooking the Farmington Valley. Housing has been steadily replaced over the last twenty years — many original mid-century homes have been torn down for larger new construction. Avon buyers tend to be Hartford-area professionals who want a 15-20 minute drive to the city, top schools, and the option of meaningful acreage. The town is built around Route 44 rather than a traditional walkable village center.
