Hamden is a smaller, quant town located right next to New Haven, Connecticut. It has a small-town feel while still being close to surrounding cities, towns, and universities. It offers a variety of different job opportunities and supports different lifestyles. It also provides proximity to several parks and beaches, including East Rock Park. Overall, it is a town that is complimentary to any life stage and goals whether a young student or a settling down family.
I love being so close to shopping and convenience; however, I can enjoy privacy in my home with a large backyard for gatherings. Lived here for 5 years and I love it! Very conveniently located to I91, 15 min from I95, and Rt 15.
Hamden has it all! Great communities, exceptional schools, fabulous restaurants and shopping! Hamden is in close proximity to Yale, Quinnipiac University, SCSU, Albertus, UNH, and all they have to offer. Culture and diversity abound here, free concerts, farmers markets, antique homes and new construction! Come visit our little piece of heaven and you'll never want to leave!
