Why I chose Westfield over bigger cities

Hi all, I've been here for 1 years and Homes are going for about $295,500 on average.

I'm a pharmacist and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. The community is hit or miss and there's always something going on.

Weather-wise, the summers are challenging and winters are wild. You get used to it after the first year.

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

If you value school system, you'll love it. The outdoor recreation is genuinely solid and I've found the quality of life is solid. My neighborhood (Old Town) is reasonable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Minneapolis, be prepared for the culture shock. housing market is completely different here. And Summers can be brutally hot.

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.

Bought a house here in 2023 and it was the best decision I ever made. Property values have gone up significantly since then.
