New Haven is significantly safer now than it was back in the 80s. Those were rough times. Downtown had nothing but a dying shopping mall. None of these fancy restaurants and night clubs. No fancy Apple store in Broadway. Significantly higher crime rates.

nah in the 80s New Haven had the coliseum and then tune inn by 1990. Fancy spots like Scoozi's and Atticus were already open

Whitney avenue and Lawrence St. Third shooting in three months. And yes, this is known as a very safe area.

East Rock looks safe but isn’t really safe IMO. I wouldn’t live there.

whatever would we do without your opinion. I've lived in East Rock for 20 years, it is overwhelmingly sanitized to the point of absurdity. 15 years ago - a little rough but still decently nice. Now - it's basically a theme park for white people from the midwest

Westville (west of the park) and East Shore have less shootings than other areas.

No there isn't. Don't move here especially with kids the violence is extremely random. I will most likely get down voted for this but 🖕
