    Great place to live! Maintenance is very important for me, and having maintenance requests that you can submit via the resident app, and quick turn around helps tremendously. Staff are extremely helpful and kind, the neighborhood is quiet, but there are so many great amenities to keep you entertained. The fitness center is a well maintained, and parking is always available. Couldn't recommend Town Walk Hamden enough.
