A few new MetroStar apartments in Milford downtown on top of train line I believe hit your budget. Though still shocked at how much they are for being so far outside NYC.

Wow, apparently a lot of good car people in New Haven area. Aquila motors in Westville has been good by me.

For $4k/month you may be able to get a penthouse in 360 State. It's downtown so you will have traffic/ambulance noise but it may be quieter at the top. They do shorter term leases as well

Thank you for the info about The Union. Appreciate it!
We are looking specifically for a top floor unit right now, which is what we wanted when we came to CT - for all of the reasons you mentioned - but couldn’t find any availability at the time.
We are in our forties and have lived in a number of apartments. This building just has exceptionally bad construction (my entire apartment shakes just when I walk normally) and when you add inconsiderate residents, it’s a bad mix.

I agree, except we have two bathrooms (so another toilet), therefore I don’t think I have anything legally to get them on just yet. When we moved in, it took them 3 weeks to fix a variety of issues including a window that wouldn’t open and a water leak. I was pretty close to contacting someone at that time.

I'll second Rick's in Hamden. He's a good guy. Took a car there once because the right front was making a horrible noise when I turned right. I'm thinking a few hundred $$$ worth of work. When I go pick it up, he told me there was ice/snow packed into the wheel and he melted it off. No charge, even though he obviously spent time diagnosing what the noise was. He's also completely reasonable for other work. Done oil changes, brakes, O2 sensors, etc. over the years for me.

Sorry to hear about your situation OP. For under $4k/mo, your options are wide for a 2b/2ba. I would suggest The Union over a new construction like Audubon or Corsair because the Union was a retrofit from a commercial building, hence floors are SOLID. Like, concrete so no creaky floor noises and noise from other units will deflect MUCH better. Plus location can’t be beat as you’re in the heart of downtown, if that’s important.
Virtually all apartments will have thinnish walls, because they save on construction costs that way (and you can be sure the new ones like Audubon will be), so some noise will propagate. So your best bet is to find a corner/end unit where the bedrooms are or make sure the bedroom is adjacent to another unit’s kitchen. Why? Because you get significant additional noise insulation from the cabinets, appliances and tiling. And better if that adjacent unit is a studio or 1 bed because that probably rules out loud parties or at least young families that’s causing your current issues. Good luck.
