Historic New Haven suburb with academic character
Home to early 20th-century architecture and parts of the Yale University campus, Prospect Hill’s charming streetscapes are among the most coveted in New Haven. "It's one of the most affluent areas in the city," says Wojtek Borowski, a Realtor with Pearce Real Estate and an 18-year local seller specializing in historic properties. "The neighborhood was mostly built between the 1900s and 1930s." Thanks to its wide selection of long-standing, character-rich residences, Prospect Hill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Homeowners here can step out of their Tudor Revivals, Queen Annes, and shingle-style homes onto Prospect Street to visit a nearby breakfast spot or wave to the neighbors. "You can also walk to Yale from Prospect Hill," Borowski says, noting that the suburb is home to many Yale faculty and staff.
Victorian and Colonial styles with land on Prospect Street
Purchasing a home here means owning a piece of historic architecture, and despite being in the middle of the city, Prospect Hill properties tend to have generous yards and plenty of space between houses ? Borowski says up to an acre of land. For $550,000, buyers can invest in a three-bedroom Victorian with a modestly sized backyard, while spacious Colonial Revivals on sought-after streets reach up to $2 million. Condos and attached housing start at $300,000 here. “Very few homes are available in this neighborhood," Borowski says. Prospect Hill listings don’t stick around for more than a week or two before finding a new owner in this coveted community.
