Located at 511 Main St in West Haven, Connecticut, this two-floor residence offers a well-designed layout with distinct character on each level. The main floor features an open living area finished with warm hardwood-style flooring that flows seamlessly into a thoughtfully updated kitchen. The kitchen is appointed with crisp white shaker cabinets, matte black hardware, quartz countertops, a rich brown subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances including a gas range and dishwasher, and a matte black sink fixture — combining style and function in equal measure.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
