Small-town charm meets city convenience in Westfield
Residents enjoy the experience and convenience of city living with the atmosphere of a small town in Westfield. "People in Westfield truly care about each other," says Kristine Cook, a Westfield resident and Realtor with William Raveis Real Estate. "You see a lot of neighbors helping neighbors." This city sprawls a leafy landscape less than 10 miles west of downtown Springfield, straddling the Westfield River with mature flora and quiet residential streets. Westfield is also home to a foodie-friendly downtown known by locals as the Gas Light District.
The Gas Light district of Westfield hosts the main strip of restaurants and small shops.
The Westfield Farmers Market has grown to include varied produce, flowers, dairy products, jams and jellies, and more.

Westfield’s “great range of houses”
"You get a good deal of house for your money in Westfield," Cook says, "There's a great range of houses available here." In the heart of Westfield, in the Gas Light District, historic single-family homes sit on lots around a fifth of an acre. Many of these properties were built in the mid-to-late 1800s. While most adhere to the Colonial Revival style, Victorian and National Folk influences can be seen. These older homes cost between $200,000 and $300,000. Around the high-$300,000s and mid-$400,00s are midcentury ranch-style homes and bungalows with driveways, garages and larger, half- or quarter-acre lots. Four- to five-bedroom Minimal Traditional residences built after 1990 can cost between $500,000 and $800,000.

The Gas Light District
Westfield’s downtown, the Gas Light District, comes to life on the weekends, full of pedestrians walking to their favorite restaurant, bar or boutique. Trendy businesses inhabit historic low-rise brick buildings, giving the area a hometown feeling even at its busiest. Take the Maple Leaf Pub, for example. Housed in an 1800s-era building, this local pub also serves subs, burgers, burritos and — of course — good drinks. Two blocks up the road, Circuit Coffee’s full espresso bar and seasonal drinks help get folks’ mornings started. For dinner, reservations are recommended to get a table at Emma’s Everyday Gourmet. This quaint and cozy restaurant serves Italian comfort food.
As for grabbing groceries, convenient stores like Big Y World Class Market and Stop & Shop fan out around the Gaslight District.

WOW: Pumpkinfest

Every weekend, there’s always something going on. We do classes, trips, gallery showings and children’s programs. Then there are our large-scale events like Pumpkinfest and Decemberfest.” Westfield’s Pumpkinfest draws more than 10,000 folks everything. This harvest celebration lights up the community with family-friendly fun. There are pumpkin carving stations, live music, vendors, food trucks, a big rig rally and much more.
