Sorry to see downvotes - folks don't often appreciate how valuable a rental-focused realtor can be, and that your fees are covered by the property owner/management co. It's a win-win for everyone, and because New Haven has such a strangely tight mix of places, you can still take a left or right and find you went from perfectly fine to roughandtumble.

The diversity is truly a strength, and Yale continues to push its programs into the Hill (upper Columbus) and Newhallville, and I can only hope it takes a beat to be sure affordable rentals remain, but fear everything will ultimately go the way of the usual gentrification effect.
