Chiming in for East Haven - especially the area south of 95. My family (kindergartener) just moved to east shore/Morris cove in new Haven. If you can find a spot there, Nathan Hale is known as a good school and there’s a real sense of community. We often do things in east haven and it’s also a nice, safe, and convenient area to live.

Second/third floor apartments are often safer and quieter. 2k can get you places but probably not Wooster. Maybe East Rock.

Bump to small streets in the dingy parts of town. Portsea, Greenwich, Rosetta, Atwater, Peck, Haven, Main St (Fairhaven)...

If you drive, then check surrounding areas for affordability. East Haven, Foxon area, West Haven Hamden all have nice spots (and not so nice) and each have a bus line or two going in and out.

Take your time and check frequently. as you find listings, try posting again asking about specific neighborhoods.

My girlfriends family lives in Woodbridge and apparently they have a fantastic public school(Amity) and good private school (Hopkins). The commute is a bit farther to Yale and there isn’t as much to do in the immediate area. It may make more sense once you’re done with school and have a higher income.
