This has been asked many times and the answers are usually the same. East Rock is super family friendly, and the neighborhood schools are great, though the neighborhood is divided between two and people usually prefer Hooker to East Rock Magnet.

Westville is also very family friendly. Will take longer to get downtown and has more suburban feel. Schools there are also good.

Regardless of where you live there are non-neighborhood schools like Elm City Montessori that are generally very good.

Mods should just pin a post like this to the top of the page. No offense to the op but this question is asked in various forms several times a month.

It’s a topic of discussion, takes some effort to get master posts like this organized so we haven’t yet but I totally agree!

My look on the bright side is that it’s cool so many people are constantly looking to move here and get the scoops.

Agreed, I love showing off the city. I don’t envy being a mod since I know it’s a volunteer position, just a thought on streamlining some of the more basic, regular posts where the responses are all variations on “it’s mostly safe, move to east rock, go to the Yale art museum and try the pizza.” I don’t mind being a shill for those things since it helps the city as a whole, but New Haven is way more than that.
