Dwight
The Dwight area, just beyond Yale’s Central Campus, is known for its saints, St. Thomas More, the Catholic Chapel and Center at Yale, and St. Raphael’s Hospital, founded in 1907 by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth and renowned for excellence in patient care and medical education.
The Chapel West Special Services District helps keep the neighborhood’s main arteries bright and clean and the Greater Dwight Development Corporation has brought new investments including a Shaw’s supermarket and a new Montessori school.
The majority of the area is residential and includes single and multi-family homes along with smaller scale apartment buildings. Howe Street is famous as a popular and affordable dining destination with a mix of world cuisines including Indian, Japanese, Greek, and Middle Eastern.
Area served by the free daytime Yale shuttle and nighttime minibus routes and regular CT Transit buses.
