If you live in West Hartford, there are 5 little words that will add value to your property: “Walk to West Hartford Center.”<\/strong> Although now, it might be more like 9 little words: “Walk to West Hartford Center and Blue Back Square.” <\/strong>Usually both of those statements are followed by an exclaimation point, for emphasis. It just makes it so much more fabulous. *tongue in cheek humor here, folks*<\/p>\n

As a real estate agent, it’s always nice if you can advertise a listing as Walk to Center (WtC). I’ve had discussions with agents as to what really constitutes WtC.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it’s based on distance, say a .5 mile radius around the Center.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it’s based on some dividing road, Park Road for example.<\/p>\n

It usually is never based on the physical fitness level or size\/age of individuals. Would a 4 year old think that Ballard Drive was WtC? Probably not. But a 25 year old might not object.<\/p>\n

I will admit that I have sometimes abused the WtC phrase in my ads. It may have been more appropriate to say “Walk to Center! (if you have a half hour to spare…)” or “Walk to Center! (if you are a tri-athlete)”<\/p>\n

The entire WtC thing has been getting ridiculous lately, so I’ve decided to lay out some ground rules for advertising going forward. Please see the maps below for how your I think your property should be advertised with respect to its distance to the Center…<\/p>\n
