The City of Westfield 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.
