Neighborhood

East Rock rests just north of Interstate 91 and just a mile northeast of the center of New Haven. East Rock residents travel down Whitney Avenue for a quick 10 to 15-minute commute to Yale University and Downtown New Haven. Condo rentals are popular in this friendly community, but there’s several apartments communities and single-family homes as well. The town presents opportunities for neighbors to mingle, including the community gardens and weekly Upper State Farm Market. Edgerton Park hosts the popular Shakespeare in the Park series throughout the summer.

Partially located in the neighborhood, East Rock Park features a mountainous ridge that presents panoramic views of New Haven Harbor, the Long Island Sound, and surrounding areas. At the 425-acre park, residents enjoy paved-road biking and strolling along a nature trail.
