Hello everyone! My girlfriend and I have been renting in East Rock for many years now. We love New Haven and we are strongly considering purchasing a home in Westville or Spring Glen, Hamden (East Rock is a little too expensive for the size of house we could afford). They seem very similar???
I feel like I have seen a few posts like this from a few years ago... it seems like the city is in even better shape than it was even like 3-5 years ago... but I am wondering if anyone can help offer any insights on what might be the better place to move... She works downtown and doesn't have a car yet, and I work in Fairfield County... so Westville could be a slightly better commute for each of us??
Does anyone have any particular ideas on why one area would be the better place to purchase a house?? Thank you!!

I was considering the same a couple years ago when I bought and chose Spring Glen. I much prefer driving Whitney over Whalley going downtown. It’s also only one more exit up on the Merritt for your commute.
