Located in the center of the state on the Connecticut River, it is 40 miles north of New Haven and 100 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts. Two major highways, I-91 and I-84, bisect the city. Amtrak's Vermonter provides daily service north to Burlington, Vermont, or south to Washington, DC; regular shuttle trains connect riders to the Northeast Corridor line and Metro-North. CT Fastrak, a new rapid-transit bus system scheduled to open in 2015, will make getting from Hartford to New Britain and Waterbury easy.
Hartford has several higher-education institutions: the University of Connecticut School of Law, the University of Hartford and Hartford Seminary. In the southern part of the city is Trinity College, a liberal arts school with 2,200 students and beautiful Victorian buildings.
Apartments for rent in Hartford span a diverse collection of neighborhoods. The walkable downtown is convenient to culture, nightlife, lovely Bushnell Park and a spiffed-up riverfront.

The North East neighborhood is largely residential and centers around 695-acre Keney Park, with its nature trails and sports facilities.
