West Haven is a gorgeous coastal community next to the Long Island Sound. This New England town has rental properties for any age, budget, and lifestyle with modest mid-rises apartments, triple decker homes, and luxury units with waterfront views. West Haven is home to the prestigious Yale West Campus and the University of New Haven. This college town is also busy with entertaining community events held every month.
West Haven is known for its gorgeous beaches. This town boasts the longest publically accessible shoreline in the state and has received multiple awards for having some of the best beaches in New England. Seabluff Beach, Maltby Lakes, and Sandy Point Beach Bird Sanctuary are all local favorites, each having their own unique amenities and characteristics. Visit the ““the Coney Island of Connecticut” at Savin Rock Park for some beachside fun.
Since West Haven is only 15 minutes from the renowned New Haven and an hour northeast of New York City, the town is also a great option for students, families, and commuters.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
