Depending on what you can afford, I’d look at orange/Woodbridge. Excellent quiet towns bordering New Haven, with the best school system near New Haven

After those two north haven, Milford and Wallingford are also great towns.

All those are likely more $ than east haven tho. The east haven school system is not good

yeah, traditionally the trumpy Italians send their kids to Catholic school. if you do private school there's nice parts of east haven to raise a small child. Momaguin or Cosey Beach if you can afford it gets you in a quiet area to walk, ride bikes and swim.

East Haven has some of the best saltwater kayaking in the north east though. There's a maze of tiny islands that goes from east haven through branford and a bunch of accessible rivers

i'd avoid east haven public schools if that's your plan

If it's a boy he'd dominate the playground and get a cool 'Staven nickname like Moose or Bundy or el Oso

Staven born and raised (for full disclosure, not proud of it) I've heard Wallingford is equally racist
