New Haven Overview

Looking for a quaint place to live with historic architecture` tree-lined streets` and tons of culture? New Haven` CT` offers all of that — and more! This northeastern city is home to Yale University` making it an ideal town for college students and faculty. It also has scenic views of Long Island Sound and the Quinnipiac River and plenty of green spaces. Living here means you’re just a couple of hours away from Boston and NYC! That makes it a good location for weekend getaways or business travel. Let’s explore why New Haven rental homes are in demand — and what to expect as a resident of the Elm City!

What is the history of New Haven?

Did you know that New Haven’s original name was Quinnipiac — named for the indigenous tribe that the original settlers coexisted with? The Puritans came to the area in the early 1600s. By 1640` they formed a government and established Newhaven as a settlement. In 1718` Yale College became a site for higher education — and economic development — in New Haven. But the settlement didn’t officially become a city until 1784. By that time` the population had grown from around 800 to 3`500! During the 1800s` the city was known for its carriage industry and manufacturing — including clocks` pianos` plows` and clothing. Today` New Haven is a thriving town due to revitalization efforts that took place in the late 1900s.

How is the weather in New Haven?

You’ll get to experience all four seasons here! That includes admiring vividly colored fall foliage on mild autumn days with high temps in the 50s and 60s. During spring` daytime highs are usually in the 40s and 50s. Summer highs here reach the 70s` with occasional heat waves. Lows during summer are typically in the low 60s. That gives you pleasant weather — and lots of sunshine — for getting out and about in New Haven’s green spaces and parks! Winter highs are often in the 30s and low 40s` with nighttime temps in the 20s. The city gets a couple feet of snow on average every winter.

How do I get around town?

The city overall has good public transportation options — no matter where you live or where you’re going to. You can take a commuter rail to reach Boston or NYC. CTtransit runs several local buses throughout the city all week. The Amtrak Hartford Line stops at Union Station in New Haven for travel to and from Springfield` MA. Heading to somewhere further away? Tweed/New Haven Airport in the southern part of town offers flights to Chicago` Houston` and many other cities!

What is the New Haven commute like?

Choosing New Haven homes for rent means figuring out what your commute will be like. What’s the average amount of time residents spend getting to and from work or school? That’s about 27 minutes — slightly shorter than the national average! Driving around — or taking buses — means dealing with rush hour traffic. You may be able to cut down your commuting time with rail or shuttle service` depending on where you’re going. For drivers` New Haven has convenient access to major roads. I-95 runs east-west through the lower part of town near the water. I-91 goes in a north-south direction right through the middle of town.
