Our home is located in the historic Prospect Hill section of New Haven. This neighborhood is home to perhaps the finest architecture in the entire city - a collection of large mansions from the mid to late 19th and early 20th century. These homes once belonged to wealthy industrialists, Connecticut governors, elite educators, and business luminaries. Many of these properties have been wonderfully restored in the past few decades and the area now offers terrific opportunities for architecture fans and history buffs.

Parking: There is both off-street and on-street parking available. Our private parking area fits 1 car per unit. Additional cars can park on the street for free.

The place was lovely, well accoutred, and tastefully decorated. We particularly appreciated the furnishing of crib, high chair, and pac'n play for our toddler. The gym downstairs was a great addition. Also we appreciated the shoveling of the driveway as it snowed the day we were leaving.
