The 400-year-old Hartford, one of America's oldest cities, is the capital of Connecticut. Dubbed the "Insurance Capital of the World" because of the many insurance companies have headquarters in the city Hartford adding to its thriving business community.

Hartford has had its share of Hollywood celebrities either being born here or moving to the city. Actors such as Eriq La Salle, Amy Brenneman, Linda Evans and the legendary Katherine Hepburn all have resided in Hartford.

This vibrant city also offers small town appeal such as is evident in the community of Asylum Hill. Life in an Asylum Hill apartment may seem a bit of an oddity because of the name. Asylum Hill began as an affluent residential community of the city of Hartford with a thriving upper middle class. Magnificent architecture seen in the Victorian Gothic, Second Empire, Romanesque, Tudor Revival, Queen Anne and Stick Styles are prime examples from this community's upper middle class past.

Another aspect of Asylum Hill apartment life is being a part of its famous history. Asylum Hill was once the home of a revered literary artist, Samuel Clemens, or Mark Twain as most are more familiar with. Also, Asylum Hill was home to Harriet Beecher Stowe. In fact, you can even take a tour of Mark Twain's home, which is still standing in the community. Such culture and small town appeal make Asylum Hill an ideal place to enjoy the city and the quiet of a small community all in one.
