South Windsor is a suburban community of 27,000 residents that is situated 10 miles northeast of Hartford, bordering the Connecticut River. South Windsor has a mixture of quiet residential neighborhoods, well-maintained parks and playing fields, and vibrant commercial space.

Education is a high priority to the residents. Over the past decade, the South Windsor Public Schools district has experienced one of the highest rates of enrollment growth in Connecticut. This growth is attributed to the community’s welcoming environment, new housing development, and the high reputation of the local public school system. There is one high school, one middle school and four new, modern elementary schools.

The Parks and Recreation department offers many fun and varied activities throughout the year for children and adults. Many families enjoy swimming and taking swimming lessons at the town’s Veterans Memorial Park pool. In the summer, residents attend weekly outdoor concerts at The Promenade Shops at Evergreen Walk, an outdoor, pedestrian shopping area with upscale restaurants and stores. Nearby in Manchester, The Shoppes at Buckland Hills is a more traditional shopping mall. The South Windsor Senior Center is very popular with our older residents, offering classes, activities, luncheons, trips and a fitness center.

A short drive away, Hartford has the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, The Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts, the Connecticut Science Center, the Connecticut Convention Center, the Yardgoats baseball team, and the Wolf Pack hockey team. Also in Hartford is a pediatric hospital, Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, and two hospitals Hartford Hospital and St. Francis Hospital.
