Westfield

Westfield

This unique and charming pedestrian town has, over the years, earned accolades including: the Great American Main Street Award from the National Trust and the America in Bloom contest, and was ranked by Neighborhood Scouts as one of America’s Safest Cities. Westfield was settled in 1720 and maintains a New England, colonial feel. The old village area has expanded into a thriving downtown with a variety of retail shops – both national and independent boutiques - and restaurants, while maintaining its original charm. The town is attractive to commuters, providing train service to Newark Penn Station via the Raritan Valley line with connections to New York, and is also on a direct bus line to New York City. Westfield’s 30,000 residents take pride in their award-winning public schools (Westfield High School is consistently ranked by New Jersey Monthly as one of the state’s top public schools), large library, and numerous sports and recreation programs
