Westville has a lively atmosphere full of entertainment near downtown

Walking, riding and driving are all options for getting around
Beyond its artsy, eclectic nature, Westville is walkable, with sidewalks throughout and easy access to local touchstones. Bus stops dot the neighborhood, which also has access to the Yale Shuttle for those affiliated with the university. Drivers can follow Edgewood Avenue and Chapel Street into downtown. The Wilbur Cross Parkway sits along its western edge, while major highways like Interstates 91 and 95 are minutes away.
Historic single-family homes in Westville have a wide price range
Almost all of Westville’s homes are historic and mostwere built in the early 1900s. “So there’s a lot of unique features,” says Jennifer D'Amato, a broker and team leader at Real Broker who has been selling homes in the area for 23 years. She adds that some of the homes are large and sit on bigger lots than in other parts of the city, and many have driveways. Colonial Revivals are particularly common, but there are also Tudors, Dutch Colonials, American Foursquares, Cape Cods and a few ranch-style homes. Most of these houses remain single-family homes, and prices vary widely. They start in the high $200,000s, but can climb to just over $1 million. A handful of multi-family homes start in the high $300,000s and usually max out in the low $600,000s. Condos start in the low $100,000s and climb to the mid $300,000s, while townhouses typically range from the low $200,000s to the low $300,000s. About half of residents own and half rent, but that doesn’t change the close-knit, friendly atmosphere that D’Amato says permeates the neighborhood.

New Haven Public Schools serves Westville. The district has zoned schools, but also offers multiple school choice pathways, including charter and magnet schools — it has the largest magnet program in Connecticut — and limited out-of-district transfers. Seats are often limited, and placement is determined based on a lottery. Alternatively, the private, top-rated Hopkins School is in Westville.
Westville sits just a mile from Southern Connecticut State University, and Yale University is 2 miles away. The commute to the Ivy League school takes between six and 15 minutes, depending on traffic.
West Haven High School is one of the major public schools in the area.

Cafés, eateries and shops along a walkable section of Whalley Avenue
The Westville Village Historic District sits along Whalley Avenue. It’s a walkable area with street parking, brick crosswalks and historic structures built between the late 18th and early 20th centuries, and it comes alive on the weekends. Bella’s Café is one of its most notable spots. “They have incredible breakfast, there’s a line out the door every weekend,” D’Amato says. Cafés and restaurants thrive in Westville. Key spots include:
Pistachio Café, known for its pastries and baklava
Mew Haven Cat Café, where resident cats are adoptable
Camacho Garage, which has a popular happy hour
Deja Brew, with pastries and coffee a little removed from Westville's busy center
This stretch of Westville is also home to boutiques, art galleries and a popular tattoo parlor called Keys on Kites Tattoo & Gallery. Art is central to life in Westville. Artists can rent a private studio through West River Arts or use the coworking space at Lotta Studio.

Westville’s football and music venues bring entertainment and traffic
The Yale Bowl hosts annual football games, including the famous Harvard-Yale football game every other year. The Westville Music Hall is also in the neighborhood. “That’s a really great draw. It’s an open-air music venue,” D’Amato says. Acts like John Mulaney comedy shows and bands like Joe Russo’s Almost Dead and Mt. Joy have performed there. When games and shows are going on, street parking in surrounding area can be tricky, but many residents enjoy the tradeoff of being so close to major New Haven touchstones.
