About 550 Whitney Ave
This beautifully kept, recently remodeled 1-bedroom apartment is in a quiet, well-maintained building on Whitney Avenue — walking or biking distance to Yale and close to local markets and shops and on the prominent Yale shuttle lines. Popular among Yale postdocs, PhDs, and SOM students, but open to all renters, with a great mix of professionals. Unit Highlights: • In-unit A/C • Recently remodeled kitchen and bathroom • Oven and range • Large living and dining area • Spacious bedroom and bathroom • Hardwood floors + lots of natural light Additional rent of $125/mo is added on top of advertised price to cover central heating and hot water, which likely represents a modest savings compared to what it would cost if paid individually. Tenant still retains control over thermostat. 3D Tour: https my matterport com show ?m=2THkUZe29XP&sr=-1 49,1 34&ss=110
