Canal Crossing at Whitneyville West

good place overall. noisy landscaping sometimes. some bugs, but very responsive maintinence so it helps a lot

The management is great, lots of medical students live nearby so that is also a plus! The pool and gym are a good size! The place is very pet-friendly. Every once in a while they host events and even have food trucks parked in the area.

It is a very friendly place and is definitely my home away from home.

Canal is a great option for those looking for a newly built apartment/complex. I highly recommend getting on the list for affordable housing early (it is really the only way to afford it with loans). There are a lot of Netter students living here, so it makes it easy to socialize/see friends.

It's tucked away from Dixwell ave and is made up of six buildings. It has direct trail access that make it great to get into nature in the middle of Hamden. The community grills are my most frequently used amenity and I've also used the gym a few times whenever I don't want to drive. Outside of the apartment complex there isn't much of a walkable area, so if you like being able to walk to shops, you might want to go elsewhere.

CCX are a set of newer apartments in the Hamden right near the entry to Route 15 (Merritt Parkway) so it's a 15 minute drive to campus. There's a clubhouse with an office, kitchen/lounge, and gym as well as pool. Maintenance is top notch and cleaning services keep the hallways and lobbies looking great. The 2 cons are that you have to drive 10-15 mins to go out to dinner either in New Haven or Wallingford and sometimes delivery services deliver packages to the wrong buildings (this only happened once for me, but I've received a few emails from management that they are working on this issue with the respective services). Other than that, we love living here and would continue doing so if we did not have to move for residency.

CCX is popular because it actually meets your expectations from their website. The apartment is modern, clean, and spacious (it looks like the photos). Management and maintenance are great and timely. There is a clubhouse with space for renting, a study space/business office, pool, and a small gym with everything you need. The only downside is the noise above you during the day depending on your neighbors. Overall, it's quiet. Even with the daily noises of our neighbors, we are desensitized now. The location is also perfect because you are close to the Merritt Parkway as well as many stores 5 mins away (see a map). Lastly, there is a trail that you can bike, run, or walk that tracks next to the property. With basic safety measures in place, I never felt unsafe or experienced a negative interaction.

Canal crossing is a great place to live. It’s everyone has been very friendly. There a lot of great amenities like the grills, clubhouse and pool that are perfect for get together with friends. The gym is small but has free weights and a few cardio machines.

Good place overall, but area outside of the complex isn’t the greatest. Very safe in the complex.

Canal Crossing is a great place to live, with or without the discount program. Lots of pets and young people. Only con is that the walls are somewhat thin, so you can hear those above you. This is something I've gotten used to, though, and you tune it out after a while.

Re discount program: Call the front office for the discount program, and try to get on the waitlist 3-6 months before you plan to move in for the best chance at success.

safe, new apartment complex, wonderful amenities. landscaping continuously kept up, clean pool & exercise facility
