Ive lived here my life! The best was JPP crew! they mixed kids in downtown lower class I guess with kids in the suburban upper class I guess Juniper park crew! crew and the university shut it down they stole all our money and shut juniper park school down we had the best field trips to Stanley park, the Dewey House is amazing! The westfield annthenium vocational technical school! Amazing unfortunately people like to steal money like Velis and crew and the state cops are infiltrating our city cops! Come on get it together Westfield Mass a choose sets! Let the world see how beautiful we are together thank you! Volunteer work is key and the westfield women's center is amazing I did plays their when I was younger put the money into that please thank you homie!
Great place to raise a family. Not a great place as a young adult. The rent is high and keeps growing (1,300-1,500 for a 1 bedroom). Affording a house as a single person is near impossible. Not tons of nightlife (but we do have 3 breweries), only handful of bars and restaurants open past 9pm. Roads are bad. Location wise, it's close to alot of other areas, a 25 min drive can get you just about everywhere you want. Stanley park is beautiful and a highlight of the town.
Besides the absurd amount of potholes, westfield is overall a good town. So many new business opening up!
