Why Live in West Island

West Island in Fairhaven offers a unique blend of natural beauty and community spirit, with over half of its 535 acres dedicated to state park land. This neighborhood on Buzzards Bay is known for its long nature walks, secluded beaches, and bird-watching opportunities. The community's commitment to preservation is evident in their successful 1980s campaign to keep development off the waterfront. Residential streets like Balsam Street, Dogwood Street, and Cottonwood Street feature modest midcentury homes that embrace the beachy vibes of the area. Potential homebuyers can find cottages with period details or renovated ranches with modern updates such as quartz countertops and hardwood floors, often on lots over a quarter acre. West Island residents benefit from access to Fairhaven’s highly rated public schools, including Leroy Wood Elementary, which boasts a favorable student-teacher ratio. Elizabeth Hastings Middle School offers a variety of student clubs, and Fairhaven High School is a notable landmark with its Gothic architecture. Outdoor features are abundant, with West Island Town Beach being a favorite for swimming, snorkeling, and fishing. The West Island State Reservation provides two miles of trails through 300 acres of preserved land, perfect for wildlife observation. For dining, Off the Hook Bar & Grill at the West Island Marina is a popular spot, set to reopen in May 2024. Grocery shopping is convenient with large stores like Walmart and Stop & Shop located a short drive inland. Overall, West Island is ideal for those seeking a serene, nature-immersed lifestyle.
