A historic neighborhood beside the heart of New Haven and Yale University

Historic Hospital Ivy League Great Location

Hill is a historic neighborhood adjacent to Downtown New Haven and Yale University. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Hill features a wide range of apartments and condos for rent that reflects its history dating back to the 1800s.

There is too much crime in this area , and yet we have one of the most prestigious colleges in the world, Yale, and unless you're going there there isn't much incentive to stay. I used to live in Massachusetts, and here I felt safer and like closer to the community in which i lived in .

The weather is fair all year round. Cold and windy during winters due to Long Island Sound, and hot, moist summers.
