>New Haven is a great town. I'm not sure why everyone's telling you to only consider the most expensive neighborhoods and suburbs. If you're single and young you will find good people living all over the city. There's also alot of slum lords, so beware.

Personally, I am intolerant of posts about how loud/safe the city is. All cities are loud. All cities have crime. To expect otherwise is unrealistic. We don't know OP, so it's easiest and safest to suggest areas that have the least problems, and also happen to be the most expensive.
