Hamden is made up of several distinct neighborhoods, each with its own personality and active civic association. The Spring Glen section is comprised of lovely older homes with gracious architectural styles. Located along the New Haven border, it is home to many Yale University employees, as is Whitneyville and the Ridge Hill section, which also borders North Haven. The Westwood section features newer homes in a rural setting. Mount Carmel, home of Sleeping Giant, is a wooded neighborhood of older homes. Dunbar Hill still has working farms, while Centerville is the heart of commerce. Highwood is experiencing a surge in business and community development. While most Hamden homes are single family, there are also apartments and various independent and assisted living options for seniors.
