It's very difficult to find a good 1BR apt for that price range in downtown....east rock might be cheaper. Good areas to live are downtown (close to bars, restaurants), east rock (peaceful, clean), science hill, Wooster square(if you have a car)

I will get a car, I’m okay with studios too, I’m okay with North Haven / Hamden as well. Mostly looking for a community kind of apartment

You absolutely dont need a car living in wooster square lol its 5mins walk from downtown. The entire neighborhood is like 3/4mi by 1/2mi

*edit: you dont need one just to get to the shops and restuarants and bars downton. New Haven is very compact and easily the most walkable city in CT despite the insane traffic

How’s mix ave in Hamden, I did look up online and they have apts that fit my budget. Is it a safe area?

I have family who live on mix avenue and I have personally looked at apartments on mix avenue and felt fine. I haven’t heard about to much that happens over there.

There is a large apartment complex on Mix that has ongoing hot water and heat issues, not sure which one. Honestly I would go downtown or No Haven over Mix, too many stolen cars and shopping on Dixwell is problematical with ongoing purse grabbings, car jackings etc

No, it’s Broadmoor. They seem to have a lot of issues there. I haven’t heard anything about Chestnut Hill so that’s a good thing!
