If there is one decision that is just as important as the home in which you choose to spend your life, and create memories, it is the neighborhood and city in which the home is located. This influences everything from job opportunities and school systems to tax rates and recreation.

Whether you’re already a resident of the Hoosier state or are looking to make the move, Westfield, Indiana stands out as a top pick for relocating buyers. What does this Hamilton County haven have in store for you?

Westfield, Indiana By the Numbers

Indiana ranks exceptionally well in several key categories, including Affordability (#2), Opportunity (#12), Fiscal Stability (#6), and Long-Term Fiscal Stability (#2). The state as a whole is a great place to call home. Hamilton County’s cities are consistently ranked as the best places in the state (and even nationwide) to raise families, build careers, and enjoy a higher than average quality of life.

Westfield is located just 30 minutes from downtown Indianapolis and has a population of just under 40,000. The small city is recognized on state and national levels for its schools, pro-business practices, award-winning recreational trails and parks, investment opportunities, diversified neighborhoods, cultural offerings, and more.

Here’s a glimpse at what Westfield, Indiana offers to relocating buyers:

  • #6: Movoto.com’s Top 10 Best Places to Live in Indiana list. Movoto was impressed by Westfield’s low unemployment and crime rates, high median household income, and the 400+ acre Grand Park.

Grand Park has it all, from pro sports to community events and concerts.
  • #7: Movoto.com’s Top 10 Safest Places in Indiana. Westfield has the lowest overall number of crimes per 100,000 people in Indiana.
  • #18: CNN Money Magazine’s Best Small Towns. Nationwide, Westfield comes in as one of the best small cities in which to live. Grand Park was a factor in CNN’s decision too. It’s not only a recreational hub, it’s a major economic powerhouse.

Life and Living in Westfield

Westfield, Indiana residents don’t need national magazines and websites to tell them that their home is special. They already know! While Grand Park appeals to millions of visitors, residents know that Downtown is the heart of the city – and it’s a healthy heart at that.

Major developments are in the works because, says Mayor Andy Cook, we “want our local people to enjoy local (places) and offer our visitors a taste of Westfield.” Downtown will feature a beautiful park and plaza with greenspace, a bubbling stream, amphitheater, and skating rink, as well as many new shops and restaurants. The plan is to keep the friendly, authentic “small town” vibe that Westfield is famous for with its “smaller buildings and unique, eclectic architecture.”

Westfield has an unpretentious appeal that’s reflected in its restaurants and shops. Stop at Rail for farm-to-table localvore fare (the Duck Hash is a must), Big Hoffa’s Smokehouse for a hefty portion of ribs or brisket, or Chiba for your fill of fresh sushi, sashimi, and Japanese comfort food. You can always stroll around the scenic streets and let your nose be your guide; there is a host of other wonderful eateries from which to choose. And don’t get us started on the breweries and taprooms. Drink local!

The Westfield Marketplace is the place to shop, and you can find hidden treasures at Tad’s Westfield Shoppes, Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, Sweet M’s Boutique, and more. You can also follow the “Indiana Glass Trail” – a showcase for Indiana artisans who work with glass. The Trail connects six counties and allows you to experience glass art in studios, galleries, museums, festivals, and workshops in the communities. The arts are strong here, and the whole community benefits from the vibrancy – and beauty!

Can You Picture It?

Can you see yourself walking on safe, clean streets through neighborhoods that are full of their own unique personalities? Can you see yourself dropping your kids off at top-notch schools and heading off to a day of rewarding work? How about coming home with a sack full of local produce and a growler of your favorite craft beer – the perfect treat after you walk or jog the Monon Trail? Can you see yourself giving Goat Yoga or Pickleball a try, or watching the Indianapolis Colts get into shape at Spring Training?
