"DEFINITELY NOT FOR THAT PRICE!! Not a safe neighborhood. That area is one of the most dangerous in the fair haven area. These landlords are brutal. "

"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. "

"A lot of good people here and they are always looking out for each other in the neighborhood. Also there are several community groups that have programs for children. And diverse schools with a focus on higher education. Would definitely recommend the area for families."

"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. "

"Way too many dirt bikers riding around causing havoc, unregistered cars everywhere. plus neighbors sit around on the front porch all day doing nothing. Loud music played by inconsiderate people around the neighborhood. Can’t wait till I move out of here "

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children have had a great experience at FAME. We value that the school offers bilingual / biliterate teaching in English and Spanish starting in kindergarten. This past year they added Arabic for upper grades. The teachers are supportive and effective. There is a weekly event for parents to meet at the school called “Good Morning FAME.”Parent Review1y ago5 Reviews - Fair Haven School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have worked here as a substitute since September. It is a wonderfully supportive environment to work and learn. The students LOVE school. After spending a majority of their day there, upon their parents arrival they still ask to stay a bit longer. In response to the comment that warned of the dangerous neighborhood, I have never felt unsafe going to school. The location of Cold Spring is a lesson in embracing our surrounding culture rather than fearing it.Teacher Review9y ago9 Reviews
