An active community and outdoor recreation
Hamden is a New Haven County town that bears the nickname “The Land of Sleeping Giants,” for its famous, anthropomorphically shaped mountain.

"I think everyone's friendly," says local Realtor Marc Seigel of RE/MAX Rise. "People are neighborly, and it's a solid community."

Seamless transition from rural to suburban
Certain sections of Hamden have an urban-suburban feel, with homes organized neatly along sidewalk-lined streets. Other parts of Hamden have a more rural character, with homes dotting winding roads bordered by forestry. Most of the houses around town were built over the course of the 20th century, though some homes date back to the 18th century and others were built in recent years. Styles range from Cape Cods and ramblers of around 1,000 square feet to new traditional homes that are more than 6,000 square feet. "We run the gamut on houses," says Siegel, a fourth-generation Connecticut resident. "We have more in-town urban kind of locations, and we have some rural lots that are from one-tenth of an acre to 2 acres or more." Price tags in Hamden start at around $200,000 for a smaller single-family home or a townhouse and can reach more than $1 million in some cases.
Some homes in Hamden are two levels and have 2 car garages.
