for 2500 you can get something decent in new haven, timing is key. dont let olive & wooster, 360, and audobon apartment prices scare you away. i suggest pmc properties specifically 78 olive. they may have a 3 bedroom but most are 1 and 2 bedroom. 2 bedrooms are a good size. theres a guy who owns several houses and buildings, ex football player. his places are typically good price. sorry cant think of his name but these 2 sisters show his properties.
