Westfield is an affluent small town distinguished by a rich Colonial past. It was founded in the 17th century. The Revolution intruded in 1777 when the British camped in and plundered Westfield. It remained primarily a farm community until the railroad came through in the 1860s.

Westfield offers all the classic features of a small town with tree-lined streets and single- family colonial and Victorian homes, and a New England style village green. The north side of town has many beautiful neighborhoods where homes sell for between $1,000,000 and $3,000,000.

The downtown is highly successful, featuring many local and national stores. There’s an old fashioned feeling combined with contemporary sophistication and a wonderful array of high quality places to shop and dine.
