Colt Gateway
Colt Gateway is one of a kind. Our blue dome has been an iconic figure adorning Hartford's skyline for over 150 years. Visible from I-91 to commuters and visitors from all over, our blue dome with its gold stars and rampant colt is the original home of Samuel & Elizabeth Colt's world-famous Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company.

Our unique 17-acre property features 10 distinct buildings, all being restored to the National Park Service standards. Our authentic industrial renovations offer beautiful, modern spaces where you can live, work, learn & play. Our Hartford apartments are newly renovated and a beautiful place to call home.

Born in Hartford 1814, Samuel Colt lived the life of a legend. With his first patent in 1836, he founded a company that played a leading role in the Industrial Revolution. The Coltsville factory was constructed in 1847 and was expanded throughout the 19th century. Those expansions included the construction, in 1855, of the armory's distinctive blue onion dome, a Hartford landmark.
Our multi-million-dollar interior and exterior restorations is creating the Hartford region's most unique campus with a mix of residential, commercial, office, retail and educational spaces. A truly seamless live, work, learn & play community. And if you are also looking to live here, we have beautiful and affordable lofts for rent.

Recently moved into Colt, and I couldn’t be happier. Clarissa guided me through the entire process and made it so easy, I highly recommend her and this complex! Clean, great community, good parking, the list goes on.

The apartments are beautiful and affordable. I give it 2 stars because the security in the parking lot is a joke. 3 cars had their windows broken into and security was nowhere to be found. Nor did they notice that car alarms were going off all night.
Management told me they’d talk to upper management about notifying residents of the break ins and they still haven’t delivered.
Opt for a complex with garage parking or real security if you care about your car and need to live in Hartford.
Update- I’ve moved out of state but while I was still living there 10+ cars were broken into after my

Clarissa/Jannette at the office have been super helpful and responsive. They're not only professional but also knowledgeable in what they do. It truly helps tenants in many ways. For me, after visiting eight different apts in Hartford, I ended up here because of how knowledgeable they were of each available apt versus other apt management office workers that knew very little of their available apt (including floor plans etc). I also needed immediate help with keys - where I received a reply in maybe 2 minutes or less. Things have been smooth here at colt gateway!

Colt Gateway is in a great location, a little outside the main city center but still within reach + close enough to the highway. Clarissa + staff are awesome. Everyone is super helpful, responsive, and understanding.
The apartments are extremely spacious with high ceilings and huge windows (and they open!), large kitchens with new appliances, and great air flow. Bathrooms / fixtures are all very new and the apartment itself is solid. If you're facing east, you'll get a LOT of sun, you won't even need an alarm clock (or to really use the heater in the winter.. this is a good thing)

I was thrilled with every aspect of my experience with Colt Gateway. From the initial walk-through to the end of my lease, Clarissa at the Leasing Office was incredibly helpful, friendly, constantly a joy and always responsive. The building itself is well kept and the residents are all friendly. Living at Colt Gateway has definitely spoiled me and I don't anticipate I will ever find another complex as enjoyable as Colt.

I have lived at many locations in Hartford and Colt Gateway is by far the best value. The property provides tenants with a clean, safe, and affordable luxurious place to live. The best qualities about this property are the parking, apartment amenities and and convenience (the property is located near all major highways!) In addition, the property manager is always available to assist and the maintenance staff is very responsive. I have been extremely satisfied with my choice to live at Colt. I highly recommend.

Colt gateway is a nice place to live, walking distance to downtown but far enough to be out of city congestion during the afternoon rush. Compared to the surrounding complexes its price per sqft is the lowest while still maintaining its upscale feel. It is a unique building due to its rich history in manufacturing and the colt family Heritage.
Soon to be a national park site.

I wanted to downsize into an apartment before I retire in 2 years. I have never lived in an apartment before and was a bit skeptical. What I found at Colt Gateway apartment was a mix of all ages and all types of people. It is really a neighborhood where the tenants are friendly and look out for one another. It it also extremely clean and well maintained. The staff are also an integral part of the complex and I consider all of them friends as well. I love the fact that I can lock my door, jump on a plane and never worry about my residence. I truly made the right decision to move here.

Loved living here - we moved here after being in NYC for 10 years and it was the best place to make ourselves home in Hartford. The staff is super friendly and attentive and the building is very well maintained.

We bought a house which is the only reason we left - trust me, if we did not buy, we'd still be there. The spaces are awesome - bright, open and airy!
