Hard money, fix and flip and DSCR loans in New Haven, CT

New Haven is a compact harbor city of about 17 square miles, home to Yale University and, in the Hill, Yale New Haven Hospital. Investors work with older houses in neighborhoods such as Fair Haven, the Hill, Newhallville and Westville, buying to rent near the university and hospital or to renovate and resell. Much of the city's land lies in National Register historic districts, and the city fronts New Haven Harbor, so check historic status and the FEMA flood map early.

Where investors buy

Neighborhoods investors look at in New Haven

The city's small land area sent much of the new housing built after 1950 to the suburbs, so a lot of the housing inside New Haven is older. Many neighborhoods are well-preserved 19th- and 20th-century streetscapes, and Beaver Hills is an early 20th-century subdivision of mostly single-family homes built between 1908 and 1936.
Fair HavenAn immigrant neighborhood between the Mill and Quinnipiac rivers, where the Front Street waterfront has new condominiums and renovated oyster houses while other blocks still struggle with poverty.
East RockA neighborhood below the East Rock ridge, built out from the late 1830s onward, where many Yale graduate students and researchers live.
The HillThe city's southwesternmost neighborhood, with Union Station, Yale New Haven Hospital and the Yale School of Medicine, where the city began work in 2013 to turn the Oak Street Connector highway into city streets.
NewhallvilleAn almost entirely residential neighborhood on the Hamden line, next to the former Winchester Repeating Arms complex that is now Science Park at Yale.
WestvilleWest of the West River, more residential as the ground rises, with the eastern half of its residential area in the Suburban Westville historic district and a Main Street commercial strip on Whalley Avenue.
Beaver HillsA National Register district north of Goffe Street made up mostly of single-family homes built between 1908 and 1936.
