Connecticut Apartment Construction

Connecticut — real question: are we overbuilding apartments in residential areas?

Nationally, a lot of the big money that was buying single-family homes to rent out has been pulling back, while developers have been leaning harder into rental-focused building — including big apartment projects and build-to-rent communities.

Now zoom in on Central CT: you can feel the surge in proposals and permits in places like Newington, Rocky Hill, Berlin, and nearby towns.

So what’s your take?

Pro: we need more housing supply Con: it changes the character of neighborhoods and pressures roads, schools, and infrastructure Middle: it depends where and how it’s built

Drop your take in the comments — pro, con, or somewhere in the middle. And if you want to talk about what this could mean for home values near you, DM me your town and I’ll give you a local read.
