Agricultural but highway accessible

With some farmland now being used for more houses and businesses, Westfield is a growing neighborhood in Middletown, Connecticut. "It’s always been a little bit more city," says Linda O'Hara, a real estate agent with William Raveis Real Estate and Middletown resident, "It's a hop, skip and a jump from the Berlin Turnpike, which gives access to New Haven." Despite its proximity to the city, Westfield still maintains plenty of forest land. Rabbits, owls and snakes are just some of the wildlife inhabiting the woods. The balance of metropolitan and agriculture makes this neighborhood popular with families and commuters.

Houses ranging in price and style

Homes in Westfield may sit on large lots, often in cul-de-sacs that are surrounded by large trees blocking the view of the house next door. Nearer to the highway, houses are closer together in subdivisions where colonials and ranch styles are common. Housing prices tend to be less expensive than in surrounding areas. Fixer-uppers can go for as low as $150,000 while newer builds tend to sell for around $470,000. Condos sell from around $125,000 to $225,000 with amenities like tennis courts and an outdoor pool.
