Attractions in Westfield, Indiana

Situated north of Indianapolis, the suburban city of Westfield’s attractions are those of almost every small town around the planet. It has some nice Westfield park spaces and athletic fields set aside for residents, a downtown with historic value, and some good specialty shops and Westfield restaurants, ongoing and special events going on all the time, and a central venue where people gather, in this case, the Westfield Library.

Probably the main Westfield attractions have to do with what family outings. In the Westfield real estate market, residential living is quite affordable, even for those young families looking to buy their very first home. The city offers a good diversity that makes for a friendly environment for families and Westfield children.

Westfield has an award-winning K through 12 school system, as well as an adult educational school called the Union Bible College & Academy. Actually an extension of Ball State University, this college attracts students not only from Westfield, but its environs, including nearby Hortonville, Lamong, Big Springs, Rosston, Jolietville, Carmel, Noblesville, Fishers, Eagle Village and even Indianapolis, only 30 minutes away by car.

Indy visitors roam the city surprisingly frequently, taking in its “old town charm, new city style” atmosphere, a phrase the city has adopted as an appropriate slogan.

Likewise, being a satellite to a big city holds a distinct advantage to a small hamlet and its community. Residents can take advantage of every wonder Indianapolis has to offer and then go home to a tranquil, less hectic, more manageable setting. Even the parks and recreation areas seem calmer inside the small but vibrant town of Westfield.
