What do you guys think?  I was considering investing in New Haven (around the colleges) and there are a couple of deals in Hamden I found on Redfin.  Thinking the Bridgeport area may be a little rough and tough.  Will the rental markets suffer around these areas?

I agree with @Jose Bernard 100%. The New Haven market is like nowhere else I've ever seen. One street can be a highly desired area, but the next street over, you're dodging bullets. 

Another thing you'd want to consider if you're looking at Student rentals is the fact that in Hamden, you now have to pull Student Housing Permits if you're a non-owner occupied landlord.
