OP what do you mean when you say it isn’t working? Does the unit say that it’s providing current?

Just stay away from that Grand/Ferry/Poplar St area.

Newtown? 🫣

If you've got pets sure you'll enjoy the area...after dark make sure you carry or are near someone you know has a CWP and carrier. If you have kids stay the helllll away from new haven. Better yet FLEE CONNECTICUT IF YOU VALUE YOUR FAMILY!

It’s gotta be New Haven

Probably New London, if I had to guess

It’s very bad lmao why are these people here saying f otherwise

Multiple times I see the moderator of this very forum, u/MattFantastic claim New Haven is not being gentrified. I assume the gentrification benefits his business(es).

The entire city is changing, rapidly, and in one direction.

If you can see the river, we call it Fair Haven Heights

Wait till the summer. Oh boy…

Yeah I saw the signs driving around today.

The area will likely gentrify without city intervention…

Fair Haven gets an undeserved very bad reputation. Yes you will be fine there… It pains me to say it but Fair Haven is poised to become a hot neighborhood with rising rents to follow. I hope I’m wrong about the rents, but even other sections of Fair Haven may soon have rising commercial rents- nearby Armada Brewery just built out a vacant structure and created a new home, upscale Valentino Tailors opened on the other end of Grand, and we all can foresee new apartment developments being proposed, based on city-wide trends.

I have only lived here for 2 years. Prior, I lived downtown.

In the event of a hurricane there could potentially be a storm surge and the water levels could rise high enough to flood. I sit on a nice piece of bedrock that protects my house. I honestly have more issues with the flooding at the storm drains when it rains so far than I have had with the river.

Does it ever flood?

That area isn mostly fine. I live across the River on Q Ave. I love living on the River.

i lived on front street for 9 years and it was great but some shady stuff goes on at night. Moved to north haven and it is much quieter and safer but when i was younger fair haven was great and we regularly rode our bikes to downtown etc. Overall good community. Houses on front street are old "oyster" houses that are generally small and poorly constructed.

Sounds like you’re moving in to my old apt! Honestly it’s a great place! I would take my kid for walks almost daily and it was always safe. I just wouldn’t go further than one block inland bc of the weed smoke and drug paraphernalia and condoms littered on the sidewalks, which you still sometime see on front street but hey, you live in a city.

Yeah? Cool. It's right across from the Oyster Bar

Is Bridgeport really cheaper? Downtown New Haven and East Rock is pricey but the other neighborhoods don't seem a whole lot different from other parts of coastal CT in terms of prices.

Front street isn’t bad, especially if you’re right on the river
