Best neighborhoods in New Haven

Hi all, I'm single, late 50s, and The median home value here is around $151,200, which is actually reasonable. Worth the trade-offs?

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value food scene, you'll love it. The weather is genuinely challenging and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. My neighborhood (The Heights) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Houston, be prepared for the culture shock. cultural scene is completely different here. And Winters are long and cold.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 2-bedroom. the quality of life is solid. Compared to Boston it's decent.
