Easy Access: Location and Transportation
Just an hour northeast of New York City, West Haven is easily accessible for both travelers and commuters. Served by major highway systems, vehicle access is obtained by Interstate 95, the Merritt and Wilbur Cross parkways (Route 15) and the Boston Post Road (U.S. 1).
Major international airports John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia in New York City and Bradley in Windsor Locks, Conn., are within a 1 ½-hour drive. Locally, Tweed New Haven offers regional service. Limousine services are available to all locations. The Greater New Haven Transit District provides local bus service.


The City of West Haven has been lauded by "BusinessWeek" as one the "best places to raise your kids." Noting that West Haven is home to the University of New Haven and is about five miles from Yale University and offers easy access to Bradley Point Park beach and the Sandy Point bird sanctuary, the publication narrowed the list of towns using the following weighted criteria: affordability; school performance; number of schools; household expenditures; crime rates; air quality; job growth; family income; museums, parks, theaters, and other amenities; and diversity.
