Beaver Hills’ access to the center of New Haven makes it a laid-back yet convenient option.
Beaver Hills has historic homes near local universities and downtown
Within view of the West Rock Ridge State Park, Beaver Hills has a small-town feel just 2 miles from the center of New Haven. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, most of its homes were built in the early 1900s. Beaver Hills is home to Southern Connecticut State University and is 2 miles west of Yale University, making it convenient for students, faculty and staff. Restaurants and essentials are accessible along Whalley Avenue, and neighbors gather for summer block parties and university events throughout the year.
A suburban atmosphere and close-knit community near New Haven’s heart
The Beaver Hills Historic District’s borders are marked by small pillars and plaques that depict beavers and the initials “B.H.” Its historic homes are found along wide streets with paved sidewalks. Some homes in the hilly neighborhood have staircases leading up to their front doors from the sidewalk. Roads twist and turn here, but tall trees cast shade over them, offering a quiet, walkable atmosphere that feels much more removed from Downtown New Haven than it actually is. Beaver Hills’ resulting lively suburban community lends a family-friendly vibe to an otherwise college-student-heavy part of town. “Everyone is friendly and looks out for one another,” says Bluma Katz, a Realtor with Harriman Real Estate, LLC and a Beaver Hills resident who has lived in New Haven for 27 years. “Once a year, we hold a community block party so we can get to know new folks.” The annual Beaver Hills Summer Block Party has games and homemade food for neighbors to share. New residents can make friends, while longtime neighbors can catch up and spend a day outside.

The cost of historic homes with unique architecture in Beaver Hills
Tudors are a common sight in Beaver Hills; some homes with vinyl siding still show the sloping roofs, large chimneys and A-frame front stoops of Tudor architecture. Other popular home styles include Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals. Single-family homes are most common here and cover a wide range of prices; small fixer-uppers can dip to the high $200,000s, while big, renovated homes can climb to the high $600,000s. There are also a few multifamily homes along Beaver Hills’ southern edge, with prices between the low $300,000s and high $500,000s. Condos in the Carriage Hill Condo Community can range between the low $100,000s and low $200,000s. The median sale price in Beaver Hills is in the high $300,000s, which is higher than the median in Dixwell but lower than that of Edgewood and Westville.
1930s Tudor homes and spacious Colonial Revivals are common types of homes in Beaver Hills.

Popular restaurants along Beaver Hills’ section of the avenue include:
D'Amato's Seafood II, a local favorite since 1933
Ladle and Loaf, a glatt kosher restaurant known for its burgers and shawarma
Whalley Pizza, the go-to for pizza and wings

Beecher Museum Magnet School of Arts and Sciences. Students can attend zoned schools or apply to magnet or out-of-district options. Seats are limited, so attendance is determined by lottery.
