The city's average rent of $1,295 for a one-bedroom apartment is notably lower than New Haven ($2,103) and Milford ($2,190).
West Haven's Metro-North Railroad station provides direct service to New York City, while Interstate 95 connects residents to neighboring communities. The historic West Haven Green, dating back to 1648, anchors the downtown area. The city encompasses three main areas: Center, West Shore, and Allingtown, where you'll find the University of New Haven campus. Minutes from New Haven's employment opportunities and cultural attractions, West Haven delivers shoreline living with easy access to urban amenities.
