The Community
Convenient to both New York City and Boston, New Haven’s own vibrant cultural, culinary and outdoor experiences have made this mid-sized city a great place to live. Its strong economy and increasing diversity is bolstered by the presence of Yale University and other local colleges. The availability of city parks, pedestrian and bike friendly design, and desirable housing options for professionals and families are also part of the city’s attraction. It’s no wonder that the New York Times named New Haven, Connecticut one of the 52 places to visit in 2023.
