🎵 Little boxes on the [river]side
Little boxes made of ticky tacky...
There`s a pink one and a green one,
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they`re all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same...🎵

Sure, from here they may all look the same, but if you`ve ever walked the streets of New Haven, part of the Elm City`s charm is that the homes look anything but identical to one another.

🏡 If you don`t already, follow @newhavencthomes & get a splash of color added to your feed as they post New Haven homes of all hues.❤️ 💙 💛

TRIVIA: Can you name the television series that song is from?

Which New Haven neighborhoods do you find the most captivating? Let us know in the comments!
