East rock for sure.

New Haven and fair haven did used to be much worse. In the 90s and early 2000’s crime was pretty bad. It’s completely turned around now I’d say since 2012-2015. But you’ll still hear the boomers talk about how “dangerous” it is cuz they watch the news all day. This area in the city is awesome. NHV is hands down the best city in CT

I’m on front myself. It’s perfectly fine and although controversial, it’s gentrifying quickly. A great place to live and that oyster bar is amazing fwiw

I love right on the Quinnipiac River in Fair Haven. We absolutely love it. I’ve lived here for 9 year now and have no no issues. It’s certainly on of New Haven’s up and coming neighborhoods. Fair Haven Oyster Bar and Armada Brewing opening up here is just further proof of this.

I can’t speak on interior Fair Haven, but Front st, Quinnipiac Ave and Lenox st are all great places to live. The new raised cross walks on Front have done wonders to keep the motorbikes and loud cars away too.

It’s New Haven. Love living here. Awesome little city with the best pizza in the world
