Neighborhood Reviews
Cape Cods line the streets with some on-street parking
Most homes are bungalows or Cape Cods, with some scatterings of Foursquares, Craftsman, brick rowhomes and even some Dutch Colonial homes with Tudor Revival elements. Most homes sell between $180,000 for a home in need of renovations and $430,000 for a Craftsman built in 1930. Cape Cods and bungalows can sell starting around $200,000 and reach $400,000. Some homes still retain original aspects, such as hardwood floors and may have undergone internal renovations, usually with the kitchen or bathroom. Many homes consist of brick or shiplap exteriors and sit closer together. However, they still have room for a backyard, a rarity for neighborhoods closer to downtown Baltimore. Roads may feel closer together due to the towering trees, placed between a sidewalk and the road. The neighborhood also has some one-way streets, occasionally without garages or driveways, leaving residents to park on the street. There are also a few rowhomes within the neighborhood, in the typical Baltimore style.

Burdick Park three streets away with a dog park
Residents can walk two blocks east to Burdick Park, a 10-acre park with a tennis court, playground and a large greenspace with room to throw a football around. The park is also home to the Burdick Bark Dog Park, where residents have to register their dog before using the park. But with both a large dog space and a small dog space, four-legged friends have room to run.

Neighborhood elementary/middle school and choice of high school
Students in the neighborhood can walk to Hamilton Elementary/Middle School for kindergarten through eighth grade. Hamilton receives a C-plus from Niche. The Baltimore City Public Schools district does not zone for high school students, so families can choose which high school to attend. Students may attend Reginald F. Lewis High School, with a C-minus from Niche, where the student-teacher ratio is 20-to-1. At Lewis High School, students can participate in Advanced Placement courses in Arts and English.

Neighborhood association with informal meetups and neighbor spotlights
“Our neighborhood association is very active,” says Cleary, “We have a Holiday Party in December, there was a Chili Cook-Off in February. There are even some neighborhood happy hours at the local bars.” In the spring, there was an Egg Hunt and Spring Celebration at the Church of the Messiah. “We do something called Community Charm; we interview a neighbor, have a little photoshoot, get to know them and then share on Facebook,” says Cleary. “It’s another way of building the community.”Four bus lines and major artery road through Baltimore
There are two bus lines on Harford Road, which crosses through the neighborhood to the northwest and two bus lines on East Northern Parkway, which acts as the northeastern border of the neighborhood. “Harford Road is the main artery of the city,” says Cleary. “It goes all the way north to the edge of the city and all the way south to the Patapsco River.” Interstate 695, which used to go in a circle around Baltimore before the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge due to a ship strike, is about 2 miles to the northeast.Harford Road locally owned businesses
At the intersection of Harford and East Northern Parkway are lines of locally owned restaurants and stores, from a pound of garlic butter crawfish at Angel’s Seafood to pepper steaks at Valentino’s and stop by The Café at B’More Made with Pride for an assortment of breakfast or soup and sandwich options. After, get drinks at Shamrock Inn and then grab groceries from the All-In-One International Market or travel about a mile along Harford to reach a Giant Food. Residents can also go south about a block for a Harvest Fare supermarket.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have grown up in the Westfield community my entire life and I love that the area is always clean and the people are friendly.

Niche Review
Westfield is a very friendly residential community in northeast Baltimore. The Harford Road commercial district is within walking distance. Single family homes in Westfield are relatively affordable and have large back yards. It's an ethnically and economically diverse community with good schools. It's a very laid-back place to live in the city.
