River-Town Due Diligence

For homes near the Farmington River, check FEMA flood maps and ask about flood insurance before you offer. Many outlying homes have wells and septic systems, so plan for testing. Some New Hartford properties pay a village or South End fire district rate on top of the town rate (OPM). If you want a little more Valley convenience, compare with Canton and Burlington. Coming from West Hartford? You'll trade a longer drive for lower taxes and more land.
