There is a bus that goes into new haven from Hamden via Whitney ave. Hamden is incredibly safe along Whitney. Less so along Dixwell ave. If you can find an apartment in hamden within walking distance to Whitney ave I'd say it's a slam dunk. My mother walked this route for 30 years to her library position at yale.

Hellll no, I almost died in Hamden, ON WHITNEY AVE. 3 cars pulled up trying to rob me of my motorcycle and almost shot me. This was on the light at the eli Whitney museum. They chased me down all the way to New Haven. Needless to say, I moved out and got an apartment in Woodbridge. I'm good lol. Hamden is getting worse and worse as time passes. Even my mother's car got stolen out of her garage in Hamden. Both things happened in 2022
