Commute times in East Hartford -how bad?

Benjamin P. Mar 31, 2026

I've lived in Riverside for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from LA, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Strong job market in several industries
- The cost of living scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Limited entertainment options

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for singles. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
