    "Nothing I felt/ feel safe going to. Violence has risen here in the last couple of years. I would never let my children outside to play without supervision. This area used to be "Grand" many years ago, but in ensuing years has really gone downhill. It's actually sad. School system isn't as good as touted either. "

    "It’s dangerous everywhere in new haven except downtown. You can’t avoid that anywhere though. But it has some great qualities. Shopping plazas just about anywhere, restaurants open til midnight, and loads of activities to do. There are about four libraries in new Haven alone, and museums in the heart of down town. "
