About Student Housing in West Haven
West Haven is a small city of approximately 55,000 residents situated on Long Island Sound in New Haven County, Connecticut. Located directly west of New Haven, West Haven serves as home to the University of New Haven and is closely connected to Yale University's broader campus community next door. The city's shoreline along Savin Rock and West Haven Beach makes it one of the few coastal college towns in New England. Its proximity to downtown New Haven gives residents easy access to restaurants, cultural institutions, and employment, while still offering a quieter residential setting.
