I moved to Hamden in 2005. We chose Hamden because it was close to New Haven, it was peaceful, had a good school system and some great outdoor opportunities. Since then, my property taxes more than doubled. My neighborhood became overrun by Quinnipiac Student housing, and the school ratings tanked. So, no peace, it's really, really expensive and as of writing this, the state park is closed to the public. Don't let the "affordable" house prices fool you. When you add property taxes and the high utilities, it's more expensive to buy an "affordable" house in Hamden than a nicer, more expensive house in another town.
