What to Know About Living in Westhaven
Westhaven was built on new-urbanism principles: front porches close to the sidewalk, alley-loaded garages, mixed housing types within the same blocks, and a true commercial center residents can walk to. Inside the community you will find single-family homes on small to medium lots, townhomes, and a smaller number of condos clustered near the town center. Architecture leans Southern traditional, low-country, and craftsman. The Westhaven Golf Club, multiple pools, miles of paved trails, a fitness center, and the Westhaven Town Center (with restaurants, a coffee shop, and small retail) anchor the lifestyle. It is the kind of neighborhood where families bike to dinner and kids walk to the pool on summer afternoons.
