Just in time to enjoy beautiful Lighthouse Park.
East Shore, located between Downtown New Haven and Branford, is a coastal and residential New Haven neighborhood with a long shoreline and salt-marsh parkland. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Townsend Avenue near Lighthouse Point Park, where corner markets, takeout counters, and marina-bound traffic set a casual, seaside rhythm. Lighthouse Point Park and its historic carousel frame weekend walks and shoreline views. Pardee Seawall and the Morris Cove waterfront add a breezy edge for jogging and fishing. Streets of mid-century capes and ranches mix with older shoreline cottages, giving blocks a practical, lived-in feel. Tweed New Haven Airport sits at the eastern edge, adding a distinct sense of motion and geography.
