Westfield Ranked Among 12 Best Small Towns In NJ: Travel + Leisure
[ad_1]
WESTFIELD, NJ — Besides its major cities like Jersey City and Newark, New Jersey also offers many charming small towns for those looking to settle down in a more quiet neighborhood.
Travel + Leisure ranked Westfield among one of 12 best small towns in New Jersey in a recent article. Other towns that made the list include Montclair, Red Bank, West Cape May, Ridgewood, Spring Lake, Tenafly, Lambertville, Flemington, Cranbury, Bay Head and Millburn.
Located some 16 miles southwest of Manhattan, Travel + Leisure said Westfield is a “charming” town with a “colorful downtown that becomes travelers and locals alike.”
Many Westfield residents have previously voiced concern over Westfield losing its “small town appeal” as the town introduces redevelopment projects, such as The Sophia on Prospect Street and Ferris Place, that could potentially bring more traffic to the town.
However, others feel that new apartments and developments will help the downtown thrive and fill vacant storefronts.
