Beaver Hills

Brick colonials, large lots, and one of New Haven's quietest enclaves

Beaver Hills sits in the northwest corner of New Haven, between Westville and Newhallville, organized around a series of curving streets and small green spaces. The neighborhood is dominated by 1920s and 1930s brick colonials, Tudor Revivals, and stone-detailed center-hall homes — generally larger and on bigger lots than what you find in East Rock or Wooster Square. Beaver Hills is one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the city by both income and demographics. Buyers here are typically looking for a true single-family neighborhood with substantial homes, often at meaningfully lower price points than the comparable East Rock or Prospect Hill stock, and don't mind being a short drive (rather than a walk) from downtown.
