Historic homes and college-town atmosphere combine in Dwight
Located between the affluent Westville and Yale University, Dwight is a unique blend of historic district and college town in New Haven, Connecticut. A quick trip down Chapel Street and residents will find themselves gazing up at the ornate architecture of Yale’s storied campus, surrounded the whole time by houses built in the wake of the War of 1812. “We are one of the largest historic districts in New Haven, and it’s always been a rather diverse neighborhood,” says Olivia Martson, sales agent with Hoolihan Lawrence, who has lived in Dwight for 32 years. “We have the university on one side, the hospital on the other, and there are some streets where you’ll see a Queen Anne house next to a Greek Revival apartment complex next to a convenience store, which is a very interesting way to experience the lifetime of the neighborhood first-hand.” Plentiful rental options, access to the university’s booming nightlife and one of America’s most famous pizza scenes all make Dwight a strong choice for those who want to experience all New Haven has to offer.
Historic Queen Anne and Greek Revival homes, with rentals for students
Much of Dwight’s housing was constructed in the 19th and 20th centuries. Many of these older homes have been converted into duplexes and condominiums, so there is no shortage of rental options. “There are quite a few apartment buildings, built between 1900 and 1910, mostly brick, that are very convenient for students since they mostly abutt the art and drama colleges,” Martson says. “There are more owners on Dwight Street. It’s full of Queen Anne and Greek Revival homes, and we’ve managed to encourage people to maintain the architectural character of the houses through the years.” Sidewalks are ubiquitous, so locals enjoy strolling to Yale’s campus one mile west while shaded by mature trees. Condos can cost anywhere from $72,000 to $270,000, varying based on square footage and number of bedrooms. Single-family homes rarely come on the market. Prices for multifamily homes can range from $270,000 to $880,000, with some reaching price points above $1 million.
You will find three-family properties from 1820 in Dwight.

Groceries and New Haven-style pizza, in and around Dwight
The Stop & Shop on Whalley Avenue is a close-to-home option for grocery shopping, and just half a mile further up, Edge of the Woods Market offers a bountiful health food selection. There is also a Walgreens along Whalley Avenue. When dining out in New Haven, there is one go-to option on every local’s mind. “People always ask which pizza place they should go to,” says Dave Rossi of Seaburry Hill Realtors, a New Haven resident for over 20 years. “But they’re all great. The answer is whichever line is the shortest.” While both Sally’s Apizza and Frank Pepe Pizzeria, two storied institutions, are a short walk away, Dwight has its own homegrown favorite. “Pizza at the Brick Oven on Elm Street is excellent and is right in the neighborhood,” says Martson. “And we have a very diverse collection of restaurants all throughout. Pistachio Café 2 and Mamoun’s Falafel Restaurant are both very good, and Three Sheets is our local bar.”
