If you're on Elm close to the park, it's nice and quiet. It starts to get sketchy after Pendleton st.

That area isn’t bad at all. Most of the crime is stolen packages, car break ins, etc. That section Whalley by Blake is pretty brutal with public drinking, loitering, etc., so I wouldn’t plan on walking with the fam by there. It can also get fairly noisy from traffic and the occasional roving dirt bike brigade. You can get a better sense of specific crimes from the city’s website.

That sounds like some areas of town where we’re coming from so I think we’ll be fine.

Edgewood is a great neighborhood. I've lived here for coming up on 10 years now, on Hobart. I'm raising 2 kids. If you want to ask any specific questions, feel free to DM me.

Yeah, you’ll be fine. New Haven can be a pretty violent city for its size but if you’re not looking for trouble and are reasonably cautious you’ll be good to go. And if you’re into beer, there’s a bunch of good local places. Enjoy!

Some super nice pockets and some super gritty pockets with everything in between. Probably one of the more diverse neighborhoods in the city, Jewish, Black, white, Latino, Afghan, very rich, very poor, etc. Maple is one of my favorite streets, usually nice and quiet. There was a shooting on Maple not too long ago, so it’s no East Rock.
