About The McAuley


About Mercy Community

Your Life Your Way at The McAuley

Connecticut Magazine refers to West Hartford as “One of the Great Places to Retire in Connecticut,” and we can’t argue. The McAuley’s neighbors include the University of Saint Joseph, which has renowned undergraduate and graduate programs, and picturesque Elizabeth Park, noted on the national register of historic places for its more than 100 acres of green space, recreational facilities, walking loops, and delightful cafe. Close to some of greater Hartford’s most acclaimed fine and performing arts venues, dining establishments, and shopping destinations, The McAuley has the three things that matter in property: location, location, and location!
