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.

No, it’s Broadmoor. They seem to have a lot of issues there. I haven’t heard anything about Chestnut Hill so that’s a good thing!

The problem with Fair Haven is really more the housing stock. This was not a neighborhood of brick rowhouses, and what's there hasn't aged well. It looks much worse than it actually is.

I wouldn't be surprised if the city rezones it gradually. The location is really great.

Do you not see the frayed wires sticking out from the top? Most of these housings on the ground were smashed, or had pieces missing from them.

Like literally every pole has frayed exposed wires sticking out the top and you’re like “lol they took them apart gently and placed all the pieces on the ground”
