Moving to Westfield -what should I know?

Hello, I grew up here but left for a while. Household incomes average around $82,847 in Westfield. Poverty rate is 7.4%, which is pretty low. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. What neighborhoods would you suggest?

I've been living here for 7 years and I'd say I love the pace of life here. The food scene is surprisingly good compared to other places I've lived. Overall Happy to answer more specific questions..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value public transit, you'll love it. The nightlife is genuinely decent and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. My neighborhood (Old Town) is growing and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Salt Lake City, be prepared for the culture shock. public transit is completely different here. And Limited shopping options.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, it was the best decision I ever made. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

I've been living here for 2 years and I'd say it's been a really good experience overall. The walkability is hit or miss compared to other places I've lived. Overall Definitely worth checking out..
