Annex
Neighborhood in New Haven, Connecticut
New Haven County 06512
Homes on the New Haven harbor
Prospective homebuyers will find predominantly multi-family homes with fenced-in shared backyards. “You definitely get to know your neighbors,” DeCola says. “You get a nice family-style living.” Lots are characterized by skinny side yards, but with enough room out back for potluck cookouts around the charcoal grill. Some single-family Cape Cods and Victorians can be found as well, with two- and three-bedroom options beginning around $225,000. For a six-bedroom multi-family home, prices rise around $400,000. “Every house has its own style,” DeCola adds. “There’s no cookie cutter.”

Fort Wooster Park
East Shore Field is the Little League hub of The Annex, also featuring tennis courts and a handicapped accessible playground. Just across the way, Fort Wooster Park is undergoing a remarkable transformation. Once the site of a signal beacon that alerted New Haven to the arrival of British forces in the Revolutionary War, this area is in the process of being converted into a walkable green space and already features a new playground and several historic monuments.

East Shore Field’s Little League parade
Little League’s opening day is a spectacle in Annex worthy of celebration. “On opening day they close down the roads and let the kids march,” DeCola says. The parade concludes with a game of baseball at the local East Shore Field. Halloween is also a big deal for neighborhood children, featuring a parade and contests for the scariest, funniest and cutest costumes. “They close down the road by the seawall for the Halloween parade,” DeCola adds.Tweed New Haven Airport
Tweed New Haven Airport borders the southern edge of the neighborhood, so residents can hop flights directly to Washington, D.C., Orlando and other destinations in the southeast US. Locals also enjoy easy access to I-95 for a quick 3-mile drive across Q Bridge and into downtown New Haven.Appetites in Annex
Locals head 2 miles east along Main Street to shop for groceries at Stop and Shop. There is a Walgreens across the street, although the nearest Walmart is almost 5 miles away on Interstate 95. Fortunately, residents are less than a mile from the closest Dunkin’, and they do not have to leave the neighborhood to satisfy their craving for New Haven’s famous pizza. Annex Pizza along Main Street is the close-to-home favorite for white clam pies. During warmer months, neighbors can be found chatting with vendors who set up throughout the neighborhood. “People come through the community all the time,” DeCola says. “Ice cream trucks, hot dog trucks – those types of vendors.”

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
