What shapes a project in Hartford
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Mostly pre-1950 housing
Hartford's Affordable Housing Plan reports that half of the city's housing units were built before 1950, a quarter from 1950 to 1970, and about a quarter since 1970. The plan links older housing to repair needs and environmental risks such as lead paint.
Multifamily and renter-occupied
About 81% of Hartford's occupied housing units are in buildings with two or more units, compared with a state where 64% are single-family homes. About 23% of occupied units are owner-occupied, so many projects are planned with landlords and tenants in mind.
Perfect sixes and Victorian styles
Hartford's preservation guidelines describe the 'Perfect 6' built from 1880 to 1920: six units stacked three high and two wide, usually with a brick front and rear wood stairs and balconies. The guidelines also cover Queen Anne, Second Empire, Tudor Revival and bungalow homes found in the city.
