Best neighborhoods in East Haven

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm a teacher here and It's a a smaller city city with about 27,729 people. Median household income is $86,498, which feels pretty solid for the area. You can expect to pay around $1,454 for rent here. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The weather takes some getting used to.

I've lived in The Heights for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from San Diego, I was surprised by walkability. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Four distinct seasons
- The job market scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Dating scene is rough

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for families. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
