West Brookfield is a very family friendly small country town that reminds of my home state Vermont at times. The town has a quaint Tavern/Pub that serves drinks and good food. There are also other restaurants and the necessary dentists, doctors, banks, liquor stores, town common, veterinarian, lake, churches, pizza places, Chinese restaurant and café. There is a great elementary school and the town shares a high school with a neighboring town. There is pretty something for everyone in the town. There are many town events and clubs that people can get involved in. The Lions Club does a lot for the community. It is all around a good place to live.
I've been growing up here since 2007 when I was 4 years old. I've spent almost 13 years here and counting, so here's my take on the town of West Brookfield. What I like: low population, tons of trails for hiking and mountain biking, (I consider myself an outdoorsman). great town beach, big lake, not much traffic, very safe (virtually no crime) great elementary school, awesome police force, (they put up with NOTHING), great fire department, wonderful EMTs, a big and beautiful common in the center of town, great place to raise a family, very bike friendly (I ride my bike here ALL THE TIME), not too far from major cities, like Worcester or Springfield. West Brookfield is actually almost exactly half way between these two cities. What I don't like: There aren't many places to go or things to do on a daily basis, so it can be boring for some people, especially if you're not the outdoorsy type. Summary: It's a wonderful little town that makes me and my family happy.
very peaceful and friendly. My family is very happy with this town. Lots of families, like ours. It is a nice small town, and every thing is so close and convenient.
