Hamden at a glance
Half of Hamden's homes were built before 1963, which makes it a mid-century town at heart. Original driveways, patios and steps from that building boom are coming due at about the same time.
Single-family homes make up 56% of Hamden's housing; the rest is condos, two-families and apartments, which brings property managers and associations into the mix.
The median home in Hamden was built in 1963, close to the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door New Haven (median 1952) and older than Wallingford (1973).

By property
Building in Hamden
- Ledge
- Near Sleeping Giant and the West Rock ridge, rock can sit close to the surface, which changes footing depths and where a patio can go.
- Permits
- Connecticut has one statewide building code, so footings go 42 inches deep in Hamden like everywhere else. What's local is the paperwork: Hamden's building department for structures, public works or engineering for the right-of-way, and the inland wetlands commission near water.
- Utilities
- We call 811 (Call Before You Dig) at least two full business days before every excavation.
