The commercial district of Westville that runs along Whalley Avenue has also been officially designated as a "Connecticut Main Street".

Being home to several popular breakfast spots in New Haven, the area has been dubbed by locals as "Brunchville" on the weekends.

There is currently work by nationally recognized artists such as Swoon and Faring Purth dotting the map of the commercial district.

These include the 20+ year long tradition of the Westville Artwalk, as well as the Halloween Puppet Parade and Summer Concert Series.

It is home to tennis courts, walking trails, a duck pond, dog park, playground area, soccer field, and more.

At the end of Alden Avenue, intersecting Fountain Street, is home to one of the few lone-standing United States Post Offices in New Haven.
