Hartford is a place where you can live

Businesses know Hartford is an ideal location and so does our community. Industry and culture are set in a beautiful, safe rural backdrop filled with clean air and abundant green spaces, just about an hour away and centrally located between Madison and Milwaukee. After work, take a hike, fish, or swim in the expansive Pike Lake State Park, finishing the night with dinner and a show at the Schauer Arts Center… spending less time on the road than most commuters. Quaint downtown Hartford is home to a number of delectable restaurants and boutique shops, maintaining that small town feel.

High performing school systems, short commute times, low crime rates, high quality health care and competitive child care costs are advantages for our citizens. There are also numerous recreational facilities and activity options open throughout the year.

Take a dip in the community pool to cool off during the heat of summer. When the seasons change, switch over to the Signicast Aquatic Center where you’ll find an activity pool for the kids to play (and ride down the slide) while you swim laps or work out in the exercise or weight rooms. Our expansive park system includes 23 sites within the city, totaling 230 acres of green space filled with jungle gyms, ice skating rinks, soccer fields, basketball and tennis courts, and plain old grass to run and play in. Whether with a family or on your own, Hartford provides unsurpassed quality of life.

As planned economic development needs to balance employment growth with housing availability, the HADC has successfully promoted the creation of affordable housing.
