whitneyville: Whitneyville Librarian Deserves a Group Hug - 09/15/11 04:14 PM
This Saturday, September 17th, the Whitneyville Branch of the Hamden Library system will be open from 9:30 to 1 p.m. , thanks to the efforts of the Whitneyville Civic Association and the generosity of librarian Nancy McNichol, who has switched her normal scheduled hours and given up a part of her weekend, to make the library available to the community. I love to spend time at a library, so I'm thrilled to have it open for a Saturday morning outing for kids and book lovers of all ages. These Saturday hours will continue through the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We hope it can … (0 comments)

whitneyville: An early Spring graces Connecticut - 04/22/10 11:00 AM
Happy Earth Day! After a tough winter, we in Connecticut have been rewarded with an extra month of Spring this year. Everything has greened up at once. We gardeners are thrilled, although, we wonder what is going to be left to bloom. It's only April 22nd, and already we have seen the early rhododendrons, the azaleas, the tulips, the lilacs and even the trees in bloom. We are almost a month ahead of schedule. I don't remember an earlier Spring in the 25 years I have lived in Connecticut. No complaints here, other than lots of sneezing. We love nature's show.

whitneyville: A Jewel In Whitneyville - 09/17/09 10:19 AM
Early Fall in Hamden is a magical time. Nature provides the perfect backdrop for our town. We all feel energized by the cool, crisp air. Trees are giving their first hints of the blaze of color that is to follow. (October 15th is peak leaf-peeping time in Hamden). Now is the time to visit the local farms for fresh apples and produce. Hamdenites can also take advantage of two weekly Farmers Markets. In my neighborhood of Whitneyville, there is a new "pocket park" overlooking Lake Whitney. This idyllic spot is sure to please anyone who visits our corner of town.
The spot was made possible by the design of … (3 comments)

whitneyville: Whitneyville in February - 02/03/09 09:58 AM
If you like an old fashioned community with quaint homes, apartments, and small shops, you will love Whitneyville in Hamden, CT. Whitneyville is home to Home & Hearth Realty, so I spend a lot of time here. It's flurrying lightly today - we expect heavier snow later. The weather, however, isn't as relevant here, because people can walk to shops if they need anything, without necessarily depending on their cars. On a snowy day there is nothing better than lunch at the Playwright. It is a true pub, with delicious pub fare and very good daily specials. Their Shepards Pie or Guinness … (0 comments)

whitneyville: Sun so hot, I froze myself.... - 02/13/08 02:19 PM
Think Oh, Suzanna had it bad? It's warm and icy today in Hamden. We had an ice storm overnight which left northern Hamden frosted and lovely, and now warmer temperatures and a rain storm to finish things off. This disparity mirrors our real estate market. Great prices and low mortgage rates should equal a hot market, but buyers are giving real estate the cold shoulder. My office is in Whitneyville, a little jewel of a community, just north of the New Haven border. We have tree lined streets, sidewalks and an active merchant community. Prices are moderate. Today there are only 11 … (0 comments)

whitneyville: Blogging around Hamden - 02/11/08 02:21 PM
Location, location, location. Never has this old adage been more important in real estate. In this volatile market, there are great buying opportunities, but I would only consider properties in the most desirable areas. The Spring market is almost here, and more buyers are out looking, but they are taking their time to make decisions. Their theme is fear: fear of deflation, fear of unemployment and a general insecurity about the economy. I remember a similar market in the early 1990s. What I remind my buyers is that we came roaring back from those recession lows to all time high prices in real estate. … (4 comments)
