West Haven at a glance
Half of West Haven's homes were built before 1961, which makes it a mid-century city at heart. Original driveways, patios and steps from that building boom are coming due at about the same time.
Single-family homes make up 47% of West Haven's housing; the rest is condos, two-families and apartments, which brings property managers and associations into the mix.
The median home in West Haven was built in 1961, close to the 1960s house that's typical statewide. That's newer than next-door New Haven (median 1952) and older than East Haven (1966).

By property
Building in West Haven
- Shoreline
- Near Long Island Sound, salt air speeds up surface wear, and FEMA flood zones can change what an addition's foundation has to look like.
- Right-of-way
- Most West Haven streets have public sidewalks and curbs, so aprons and walks usually need a city permit.
- Permits
- Connecticut has one statewide building code, so footings go 42 inches deep in West Haven like everywhere else. What's local is the paperwork: West Haven's building department for structures, public works or engineering for the right-of-way, and the inland wetlands commission near water.
- Utilities
- We call 811 (Call Before You Dig) at least two full business days before every excavation.
