I worked in New Haven for 3 years and have lived in the area for 12 years. I’m plenty familiar with downtown and am there multiple times a week. I, nor anyone I know, has ever had an issue there. Sure things happen, but consider that hundreds of thousands of people pass through downtown every year and it’s no more dangerous than any major city.

Let’s see.

Good: downtown, East Rock, Wooster Square, East Shore, Morris Cove, Prospect Hill, Westville

OK/Marginal: Edgewood, Dwight, Amity, Q Meadows, Beaver Hills

Bad: Fair Haven, The Hill, Newhallville, Dixwell

It evens out, and most population are in OK areas.

Most prevalent? What does that even mean? New Haven has just as many good areas as bad.

You just named 2 of the highest crime areas of the city 🙄

That’s a stretch. Plenty of safe areas in New Haven.

Jimmie’s is insane. They’re a failing restaurant that’s trying to block a COMPLIMENTARY business that will bring hundreds of thousands of people to their vicinity. Idiots. No wonder they’ve squandered that great location.

Yeah, that’s not true. The last recorded FBI crime rate was 159.7, national average is 270.6.

There are some dumpier neighborhoods but I assume you’ll be going to check things out and can feel it out.

UNH is technically in West Haven which is pretty safe and affordable overall.

That analogy made no sense

Not specific enough. There’s a lot of options.
