West Haven is a small Weber County city west of Ogden, primarily a residential community near Hill Air Force Base with limited student housing market activity. Students who rent here are typically attending Weber State and prioritizing price, accepting the car commute. Rents are low relative to other Wasatch Front markets, and the housing stock leans toward newer single-family homes and townhomes. It is an affordable if inconvenient choice for students who are comfortable driving to campus.
