Now? When has it not been the usual

You use the same precautions as you would with any other city. The psychiatric hospital is also right there, so it’s a far more interesting mix of people on Main Street, than say Hartford.

And if it wasn’t for yale all that property they bought would be vacant and abandoned like Bridgeport

Depends where you’re merging some are 55mph zones.

I used to go to Middletown to buy heroin, like every town it has some good and bad parts, you will be fine

Merging you must be at 65mph once entering the in the highway

New Haven is nothing BECAUSE of Yale. They have slowly bought up property all around that city and pay next to nothing in taxes. The city is starving, can’t properly fund public services and social services as a result. Jobs are great but what would be greater is if they paid tax to the city out of the 50 billion dollar endowment

Bro pay for classes. You aren’t going to pass your test with your grandma teaching you. Odds are she doesn’t know how to drive correctly because no adult does.

I didn’t say it’s the worst place in ct I said it’s amongst them and there’s way better alternatives to consider if you’re moving across the country to live here.

Interesting, I was surprised to see Hamden on this list and expected Waterbury to be higher.

Martino’s in Watertown has been consistently good

Waterbury, New Haven, Hartford lol dudes cracked out of his mind

Yea ya walked right into age jokes at least!!

Completely agree, I may have a high tolerance because I was once a street vendor in Boston but I've found the beggers here to be harmless.

The only time I've ever felt a smidge unsafe in Middletown was when some drunk white women passed me while shouting homophobic/transphobic slurs, but that can happen anywhere.

If you have the budget for it Knollcrest apartments are pretty nice. Pet friendly, public pool/grill/fire areas, has a dog park that gets lots of use, most renters are older or young professionals so nothing crazy is ever going down.

Also 5 minutes away from one of Middletown’s main shopping hubs and maybe a 10 minute drive tops to downtown

Middletown is perfectly safe. There's a couple specific areas in the North End that I wouldn't particularly want to live in, but it's really relegated to like a single block... not a whole neighborhood.

Most of the North End is perfectly safe. The area right around Aresco's/Liberty is a little hairy... 2 blocks away feels like a totally different city.

If you find any potential places to rent, feel free to DM me and I can give you a good idea of what it's like.

Answering machine!? Lol. Im teasing I still have a red dial phone in my basement.

There's beggars around... usually the same 10 folks or so. If you just say "no" they leave you alone. Nothing scary or unsafe about it.

Hey neighbor!

Yep! Try Stonegate Apts on South Main st, not sure how they are now but 10 years ago I felt very safe there living alone.

I live right next door in Meriden. Stop by tom's place in south Meriden, they have the best steamed cheeseburgers in the entire state

There’s no way Middletown is worse than Meriden or New Britain, never mind places like Bridgeport.

It’s definitely closer to NYC style pizza than New Haven. It’s very good though!
