The City of Westfield
Massachusetts is located in the heart of western Massachusetts. Westfield
provides a pleasing small city atmosphere. With a population of 38,000,
Westfield has the second largest land area in the Commonwealth, covering
30,000 acres. Yankee ingenuity and hard work are still sources of pride
in Westfield. The old fashioned New England virtues of pragmatism and neighbor
cooperation make Westfield a great place to live and work, residents say.
Few cities enjoy such easy access to transportation coupled with an abundance
of undeveloped land.
The Massachusetts Turnpike's Westfield
exit and nearby connections with interstate 91 provide easy automobile
and truck access. The municipally Barnes Airport, offers private commuter
and air freight aircraft service. Westfield is conveniently located within
30 minutes of Bradley International Airport.
Westfield has railroad accessibility
with the Pioneer Valley Railroad connecting with Conrail. Residents claim
that everything a city should have is in Westfield: a great local school
system, Westfield State College, a fine hospital, beautiful and affordable
residential areas, diverse restaurants and shopping facilities and numerous
parks and playgrounds including Stanley Park.
Westfield Mass is located in Southwestern
Massachusetts, bordered by Agawam, Holyoke, and West Springfield on the
east; Southwick and Granville on the south; Russell and Montgomery on the
west; and Southampton on the north. Westfield is 98 miles southwest of
Boston and 85 miles from Albany, New York. |
