Reply to comment by HartfordResident in Moving to New Haven with the family. Thoughts? by decimal_diversity

Nope. The Edgerton side of Whitney is nicer and more expensive than any part of Westville.
Born and raised here too.

Expensive and rich never means nicer or more community friendly. But both are great areas! I think Westville has more resources (library, farmer market, several nice restaurants, cafes etc) - the area around Edgerton is a retail desert. It also has more typical-sized homes, bungalows, etc., than the area around Whitney does, so objectively speaking, you have a much larger number of typical families with young children living there. The area along Whitney and Saint Ronan Street has more of a mix of either 1BR condos or very large mansions.

I think a lot of families try to be closer to Leila Day, Calvin Hill, Foote, St Thomas, Cold Spring, Hooker, etc.
