Zip code 06517 centers on Hamden's Whitneyville and Spring Glen along the Mill River and Lake Whitney, with leafy, walkable streets and classic early-20th-century homes. Expect a four-season New England climate and a community-forward pace: rides on the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, picnics by the water, and hands-on afternoons at the Eli Whitney Museum & Workshop. Whitney Avenue anchors cozy coffee spots, pizza and bakeries, yoga and fitness studios, and the beloved Best Video Film & Cultural Center for live music and film nights; supermarkets on Dixwell Avenue and nearby Hamden Plaza simplify errands. Downtown New Haven's theaters and dining sit minutes away by bike, bus, or car. Recent Zillow trends show a median rent around $2,000, with most listings between $1,500–$2,800 over the past few months.
