Jeff - That's one of great features of New Haven.  Being one of the bigger cities, there is a very good choice of homes in a number of neighborhoods no matter what price range you're in.  The photo was taken in Morris Cove at Lighthouse Park.  It's beautiful, isn't it?

Sally - Thank you....I try to use a different photo each month with these reports to mix it up a little so they don't always look the same.  

Andrea - That they are and it's a great sign for the city overall that we may have hit the bottom and the market has stabilized.
