Reply to comment by HartfordResident in New to New haven, recommendations please by ldelizabeth

Most of Beaver Hills is absolutely fine. It’s a desirable neighborhood, mostly large architecturally beautiful SFH houses with decent sized lots, lots of long term residents. Mostly middle class, also working and upper class, nice mix of people, very diverse and community-minded. Between Goffee and Crescent is very nice. I would avoid areas right near SCSU (loud college students and increased crime) and living on Whalley itself, and would be cautious about the areas between Whalley and Goffee, especially Winthrop (between Goffee and Crescent is fine however).

This is true, it's one of the nicest neighborhoods in the state in most parts. I was thinking of some of the areas near the edge of the neighborhood, where there have been more violent crimes.

Yeah, like most neighborhoods in New Haven, Beaver Hills borders higher crime areas. All of the highly recommended neighborhoods border high crime areas, so there’s bound to be a little spillover.
