Berlin is a suburban town south of Hartford along I-91 and the Berlin Turnpike — one of Connecticut's most significant commercial strips. The Turnpike's retail and commercial corridor creates a substantial commercial tax base alongside the residential neighborhoods.
For property professionals, Berlin's commercial corridor adds significant property diversity and assessed value beyond the residential base. The town straddles the suburban-commercial divide in a way that creates varied property considerations.
