West Bridgewater is a small residential town bordering on the City of Brockton, and located at the junction of Routes 24 and 106. It is also close to Route 495, making the town's accessibility one of its greatest assets. This access along with availability of land has resulted in increased commercial, warehouse and industrial activity near the highway in this community which was once primarily agricultural. The town does, however, retain working farms which contribute to its scenic character.

The two major roads which cross through the town (Route 28 and Route 106) have served as the main business districts due to the heavy traffic on these routes. Particularly notable is the concentration of antique dealers located in several antique shops and two cooperatives.

The most beautiful spot in the town is the historic War Memorial Park along Town River, which has been recently restored through the efforts of several dedicated volunteers. The success of this restoration has contributed to enthusiasm in other community projects such as plans for a playground, adoption and maintenance of traffic islands by residents, and a free summer concert series at the gazebo, sponsored by local businesses and organizations.
