Farmington
Historic Main Street town anchored by UConn Health and Miss Porter's
Farmington is one of the oldest towns in Connecticut, with a remarkably intact historic Main Street of pre-Revolutionary colonials and Federal-era homes. The town is anchored economically by UConn Health (the medical school and hospital complex on Farmington Avenue) and culturally by Miss Porter's School, a long-established girls' boarding school. Housing splits between the historic core (Main Street, Mountain Road, Mountain Spring Road) where antique colonials trade at meaningful premiums and the broader suburban housing stock of mid-century colonials and capes. Buyers come to Farmington for the schools, the medical-campus jobs, the historic character, and the convenient access to both Hartford and the western suburbs.
