Why Live in Westbrook
Westbrook is a residential neighborhood in southwest Kokomo, characterized by homes built in three distinct phases. The first phase, east of Berkley Road, dates back to the 1970s, followed by expansion west of Berkley in the 1980s, and completion in the 2000s. This results in a mix of housing styles, including ranches, split-levels, and two-story traditional homes with spacious yards in the older sections, and larger two-story custom builds with attached garages in the newer areas. Mature trees provide ample shade in the older parts, while younger trees are more common in the newer sections.
