How far is Bridgeport from Hamden? What is Hamden like? as compared to Bridgeport?

[Dockside]

According to google maps it's about 25 miles between them. I am not familiar with Hamden, but don't move to Bridgeport.

Bridgeport is a large city with larger problems. It has been politically and financially mismanaged and has a lot of crime.

DON'T be fooled by cheaper homes and rentals. Don't pay any attention to people telling you the Black Rock section is dandy, or to get in on Bridgeport gentrifying. Drive by on I95 at night and check out the harsh color of those anti-crime street lights.

Hi,
Yes, I must agree with Dockside. Bridgeport isn't a good place to live. Crime, drugs, who knows what more?
Consider Norwalk, it's a nice place to live.

Norwalk has some very bad sections as well. Hamden is fine as long as you are not on lower Dixwell ave. North Haven,Milford,Orange,Woodbridge,Northford,and Wallingford are all very nice. Bridgeport was the murder capitol of the USA in the early 90's. Better now, but far from great.
