Westfield is a mid-sized city on the Westfield River, with a diversified economic base that includes Barnes Airport (Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport), Westfield State University, and the commercial corridors along Routes 10/202 and Route 20. The city's housing stock mixes the older, denser neighborhoods near the downtown with suburban development in the southern and western sections.
For property professionals, Westfield is the second-largest market in Hampden County after Springfield, with enough scale and property diversity to require neighborhood-level analysis. The Westfield River creates flood exposure, and the airport and university add institutional land use considerations.
