The ONLY mechanic I would trust with my vehicle le; I've recommended him to everyone I know. Not only is he a highly skilled mechanic, but an honest and respectable man!

I think I may be too new to New Haven to know what you are referencing, but it certainly wasn’t a village. 66 Norton was a condemned building that the city forced tenants to move out of (read in an article) and then some slimy landlord bought and renovated it on the cheap. Water coming through the ceiling, pests, $1000 electric bills, the list goes on. Absolute nightmare.

If you want to stay close to new haven, there are a few apartment / condo complexes in Hamden that all look really good. Anything along Whitney Ave will be a great neighborhood and Whitney is a straight drive into the heart of new haven.

That's ok, we realize we probably have to sign a 12-month. We just need to make sure there's a way to break it (usually a fee and notice).
Edit: Not sure why I’m being downvoted. Nobody will give us month to month. We are looking for a house so that means we have to break the lease if we find one. I can’t help it that I need somewhere to live in the interim, but nobody wants to lease for less than 12 months. Landlords are paid a lot of money if we have to break a lease. They win in the end and we lose.

Thank you. I literally walk toe-heel in my apartment to avoid disturbing neighbors. We try hard. The larger issue is management is terrible.

Double check Facebook marketplace. There are a lot of people posting recently of lease takeovers and most are only a few months.

Yep, that is what we are looking for. That is what we wanted initially, but there was just nothing available when we moved here in October. This apartment was our last option and we didn't even get to see it before we signed. That was a mistake. Thank you for commiserating.

It's quiet as hell. All the apartments are 1 bedroom, so I don't think I've ever seen a kid... but the best part? Cat and dog friendly and there's a dog park. All the units are also currently being remodeled.

More like 1850-2100 nowadays but still fair cheaper than their budget

You can definitely find a place in New Haven. I have lived in apartments there plenty and rarely had a serious noise issue. Sorry you're going through it. Inconsiderate neighbors suck.

We are looking for a house in Milford. There are very few rentals in Milford that we can get short-term, so we are looking in New Haven. We don’t have tons of options right now.
Either way, I’m from Dallas. I am very familiar with city life. This is just the worst apartment I’ve ever lived in, and the most expensive by far.

My wife and I had a similar issue but not only with the woman upstairs stomping, but also a woman with dementia next to use screaming at night to get her husband's attention from another room.... Who died a decade prior. We moved to an apartment that was top floor and had a much better time. We've since bought a house, but while we had it top floor was definitely the way to go.

I really don't recommend new haven. It's a younger wilder town then Stamford If you have these kinds of concerns

Well I’m in my forties and have lived in a number of apartments over 2+ decades. I’ve never dealt with anything this bad.

Yeah that's what it's like in every apartment I've ever lived in in a city . Quiet hours aren't really a thing unless it's an over 55 community

I don’t think you understand. We are being woken up even with earplugs and white noise, and we can’t relax in our own home. The toddler has no rules. She runs and throws things for hours on end, starting at 5:30am sometimes and ending after midnight sometimes. It is hours of bangs, crashes, screams, stomps. This is not normal noise and it is not short-lived. It is nonstop for HOURS - including quiet hours.

I’m currently at the City Crossing apartments, a cluster of 4 buildings near YNHH. Can’t say for sure about short team leases but could be worth a shot.
