"Westfield is a "magnet" community, considered one of the very best destination communities in Union County and in the state. With its outstanding schools, superb business district, and magnificent homes, buyers often assume that homes in Westfield will be beyond their budget. In fact, while there are many homes in the $1 million, $2 million, $3 million+ range, there are many more in the $400,000 to $800,000 range.

Westfield's "draw" comes from its safe, picturesque wide boulevard-type streets, fine colonial homes, quaint yet upscale downtown, and its outstanding schools which regularly report stellar achievements by Westfield's young people.

Family Environment with Active Youth Programs in Westfield

It's not unusual for Westfield parents and their children to walk downtown to enjoy the parks and other recreational facilities, or to meet at Starbucks, Vickie's Diner, or Panera's. In the evenings – especially in the nice weather -- people gather to talk and have dinner at one of Westfield’s many restaurants and sidewalk cafes, which feature varied, affordable cuisine.

Westfield focuses on its youth, sponsoring active sports and recreation programs, including Little league Baseball, the YMCA, the Westfield Memorial Pool, indoor and outdoor Tennis, racquetball and exercise facilities, and before & after school programs. As you walk, you’ll notice the beautiful parks & golf facilities. The famed 12 acre Mindowaskin Park – itself a destination for bridal party pictures – offers summer concerts and winter ice skating, and spectacular holiday lights. The local theater, the Rialto, had its exterior restored to resemble that of a bygone era, and offers the latest movie entertainment.

With the panache of its thriving business district, outstanding schools, and a great community social life, Westfield is exactly what many are looking for

Some background & other facts
Settled by immigrants from Europe more than 300 years ago, Westfield was once a popular trail for the Lenni-Lenape Indians whose heritage is remembered in names such as Lenape Trail, Manitou Circle, and Tamaques Park. Originally known as the West Fields of Elizabethtown, the community gradually took its own identity and in 1903 was incorporated as the Town of Westfield. Today, Westfield's 6.29 square miles is distinguished by 211 acres of parkland, enjoyed by Westfield's 30,000+ residents who have the advantages of fine suburban living, close to the attractions of metropolitan New York, with convenient access via excellent train and bus service, and all major highways.
