Waterfront Living at Oyster Cove, New Haven

Looking for a waterfront condo in New Haven that combines water views, updated living space, and convenient access to Yale, downtown New Haven, and major transportation?

229 Front Street, Unit 1—also known as B1—is an updated 2-bedroom, 2-full-bath townhouse-style condo in the Oyster Cove complex on the Quinnipiac River. Listed at $315,000, this end unit offers 1,185 square feet across three levels, plus a private 25-foot boat slip.

Waterfront Living on the Quinnipiac River

There’s something different about coming home to the water.

At Oyster Cove, the Quinnipiac River isn’t simply nearby—it’s part of the experience. This unit offers water views from multiple vantage points, and its private 25-foot boat slip gives boaters direct access to enjoying time on the river.

Whether your ideal morning starts with coffee overlooking the water or your weekend plans involve heading out on your boat, this property offers a lifestyle that’s hard to duplicate.

A Living Space Designed to Make an Impression

The main living area is one of this condo’s standout features.

As you can see in the photo, the open living and dining space is filled with natural light, while the soaring ceiling and dramatic windows give the room a sense of volume.

According to the MLS, the remodeled living room features two-story windows, a cathedral ceiling, hardwood floors, a fireplace, and access to a balcony/deck.

It’s an inviting combination: architectural interest, warmth from the fireplace, and a layout that connects naturally to the dining and kitchen areas.

An Updated Kitchen Made for Everyday Living

The remodeled eat-in kitchen includes granite countertops, a breakfast bar, breakfast nook, and tile flooring, along with a gas range, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher.

Its open relationship with the main living space makes it easy to cook without feeling separated from what’s happening around you.

Two Bedrooms, Two Full Baths—and a Loft

The primary bedroom is located on the main level and features hardwood flooring, high ceilings, and a cathedral ceiling. A second bedroom is on the lower level, also with hardwood flooring.

There are also two renovated full bathrooms, one on the main level and another on the lower level, both featuring granite counters, tile floors, and tub/shower combinations.

Then there’s the upper-level loft.

With hardwood flooring and balcony/deck access, the loft adds another flexible space to the three-level floor plan. It could work beautifully as a home office, reading area, creative space, or simply somewhere to relax and enjoy a little separation from the main living area.

Garage, Central Air and Condo Convenience

This home also offers an under-house one-car garage, central air, natural gas heat and hot water, and lower-level laundry.

The monthly association fee is currently listed at $678 and includes grounds maintenance, trash pickup, snow removal, water, sewer, property management, pest control, road maintenance, and flood insurance. Buyers should also be aware that the MLS identifies a current $308.15 special assessment for paving and docks, scheduled to end April 20, 2031.

Those are important numbers to understand when considering any condominium purchase, and they should be factored into your overall monthly budget.

Convenient to Yale, Metro-North and the Shoreline

One of the other advantages of this property is its New Haven location.

Oyster Cove is convenient to Yale University, Yale New Haven Hospital, Long Wharf, Metro-North, I-91 and I-95, while nearby highway access also makes it easy to head toward Connecticut’s shoreline communities. The MLS also notes nearby dining and marinas.

You get waterfront surroundings without giving up convenient access to the places you may need to go every day.
