There is a spot on New Road that has been a favorite with locals for centuries. It's Clark's Pond, a calm oasis in a busy part of town. Today the Pond is bordered by Quinnipiac University. Its beauty offers students and town folk alike a respite from the quick pace of life. As you can see, the surrounding foliage is putting on its show for Fall. The colors should be at peak in about one week.
Visitors to our area of often struck by the variety of landscapes in town. The northern part of Hamden is rural and rugged. There are horse farms and large estates for those favoring privacy. Most of the town, however, is made up of neighborhoods which reflect the era in which they were constructed. We have neighborhoods built at the turn of the last century, which feature multi-family homes and houses with rich woodwork trim. There are the mid-century suburban prototype neighborhoods such as Spring Glen, with its three bedroom, one and one half bath colonials which were so innovative in their day. As the town has grown, subdivisions have come in, with each featuring larger and larger homes, peaking with the mini mansions of the last decade. There is something here for everyone, and a pleasant lifestyle to go along with it.
If you know someone transferring to the area to work at one of the universities or in the growing health care industry here, please let me know. I would be happy to help them relocate to our town.
