Fair Haven

Working-waterfront neighborhood with a renewing housing stock. Fair Haven occupies the peninsula between the Mill and Quinnipiac Rivers on the east side of New Haven and is one of the city's oldest neighborhoods. Once an industrial and oystering center, the neighborhood today is a working-class enclave that is the heart of New Haven's Latino community — Grand Avenue's restaurants, bakeries, and groceries are unmatched in the city for Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Central American food. The housing stock is heavily weighted toward 19th-century two-, three-, and four-family houses, many in the process of being restored, plus a smaller share of brick rowhouses and recent infill. Fair Haven is the New Haven neighborhood with the most room to run on price appreciation, and it draws buyers looking for value, character, and walkable street life.

Fair Haven is best for people who value working-class, diverse, walkable. Among the most affordable entry points into city homeownership Quinnipiac River waterfront access and Criscuolo Park
