Relocating for a Specific Employer?
Which of the towns we cover are closest to the region's largest employers, using the same commute figures as the rest of this site. We have no partnership with any employer listed here — this is public information, organized for buyers relocating for a job.
Pratt & Whitney
East Hartford, CT
The aerospace manufacturer that shaped East Hartford’s own growth since 1929, now part of RTX (Raytheon Technologies). Its main Connecticut operations are in East Hartford, right at the Hartford metro core.
We don’t have a separately published distance to the East Hartford plant specifically, so this uses the same drive-time-to-Hartford figures as everywhere else on this site — a reasonable proxy since East Hartford sits directly against downtown Hartford.
| Town | Distance | Drive time |
|---|---|---|
| East Hartford | 5 mi | ~10 min |
| Glastonbury | 8 mi | ~13 min |
| Manchester | 10 mi | ~15 min |
| South Windsor | 11 mi | ~18 min |
| Bolton | 15 mi | ~21 min |
Travelers
Hartford, CT
One of the country’s largest property-casualty insurers, headquartered in downtown Hartford.
| Town | Distance | Drive time |
|---|---|---|
| East Hartford | 5 mi | ~10 min |
| Glastonbury | 8 mi | ~13 min |
| Manchester | 10 mi | ~15 min |
| South Windsor | 11 mi | ~18 min |
| Bolton | 15 mi | ~21 min |
The Hartford
Hartford, CT
Another of the major insurers anchoring Hartford’s "Insurance Capital" identity, headquartered downtown.
| Town | Distance | Drive time |
|---|---|---|
| East Hartford | 5 mi | ~10 min |
| Glastonbury | 8 mi | ~13 min |
| Manchester | 10 mi | ~15 min |
| South Windsor | 11 mi | ~18 min |
| Bolton | 15 mi | ~21 min |
UConn (Storrs campus)
Storrs (Mansfield), CT
The University of Connecticut’s main campus — by far the largest employer and enrollment base in the Tolland County region.
UConn Health / John Dempsey Hospital
Farmington, CT
UConn’s medical school and teaching hospital, a separate campus from Storrs.
Farmington isn’t the same as downtown Hartford, but it’s in the same general west-of-Hartford area — we don’t have a separately published distance to Farmington specifically, so treat the Hartford-anchor ranking as directional for this one, not exact.
| Town | Distance | Drive time |
|---|---|---|
| East Hartford | 5 mi | ~10 min |
| Glastonbury | 8 mi | ~13 min |
| Manchester | 10 mi | ~15 min |
| South Windsor | 11 mi | ~18 min |
| Bolton | 15 mi | ~21 min |
