Top to bottom, this one is brand new where it counts. This fully renovated four-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath apartment at 56 Hillside has been thoughtfully rebuilt with quality finishes throughout not a quick flip, but a genuine renovation done right.
Every surface tells that story. Beautiful hardwood-style flooring runs throughout the apartment, paired with sleek shaker-style cabinetry and premium modern appliances in the kitchen including a dishwasher, built-in microwave, and oven. This is a kitchen that looks as good as it functions, with clean lines and the kind of finishes you'd expect in a much pricier unit. A separate dishwashing area adds everyday convenience most rentals overlook.
The layout is smart and livable. Two distinct living areas give roommates or a family the flexibility to spread out a proper common space for gathering and a second, cozier area for quieter moments or a study nook. All four bedrooms feature nice closets with ample storage, and the half bath on the main level means no morning bottleneck. It's a floor plan designed for people who actually share a space.
The Science Hill neighborhood is one of New Haven's hidden gems quiet and residential, yet remarkably connected. You're just a block from Yale's newest residential colleges, steps from beautiful parks, and right on the Yale shuttle route for effortless commuting across campus and downtown. While this address has long been a favorite among Yale graduate students and affiliates, it's open to everyone and once you see the neighborhood, you'll understand the loyalty.
Brand-new finishes, four real bedrooms, and one of the best locations near Yale. This is the renovated Science Hill apartment everyone's been waiting for.
Parking available for an additional fee, subject to availability.
