Located at 1199 Whitney Ave in Hamden, Connecticut, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom residence offers a well-organized single-floor layout with a clean, neutral aesthetic throughout. Rich hardwood-style flooring flows seamlessly across the living areas and bedrooms, creating a warm and cohesive feel. The open living room is generously proportioned, bathed in natural light from vertical-blind-covered windows, and features a classic baseboard heating unit. It connects directly to the kitchen, which stands out as a highlight of the unit. The kitchen is outfitted with white shaker-style cabinetry, gleaming granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including a refrigerator and range, a deep single-basin sink, and recessed lighting overhead — a modern and functional space for cooking and entertaining. Both bedrooms are comfortably sized, with the primary bedroom offering a closet with paneled bi-fold doors and access to the hallway. The second bedroom mirrors the same warm flooring and neutral wall tones found throughout. The full bathroom is finished with light tile flooring, a single-sink vanity with cabinetry below, a wide mirror with built-in medicine cabinet, and a full tub and shower combination, providing a clean and practical space. The overall ambiance is bright, tidy, and move-in ready.

Hamden, aka the “Land of the Sleeping Giant,” is a verdant city spanning north of New Haven. This charming city is in a lush, mountainous setting where outdoor recreation abounds. For breathtaking views of the Sleeping Giant, head to its namesake park or explore the rugged terrain at West Rock Ridge and Brooksvale Park. Laid-back adventures are provided by golf courses, community parks, and Lake Whitney.
The southern half of Hamden, closest to New Haven, accounts for the busier commercial sections of town. Shopping centers, office complexes, and well-populated residential areas make up most of this side of town. The southern edges of Hamden partially contain both the Southern Connecticut State University Campus and the Albertus Magnus College, making Hamden appealing to those associated with the colleges. Renters looking for a place that offers both city life and mountain life will be drawn to Hamden.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
