Our Story
We moved to New Jersey in 1993 to pursue a career opportunity for me, and chose Westfield because it checked off all our boxes: first and foremost, an excellent public education system, physical beauty, a diverse population with excellent demographics, an engaged community with many civic activities and opportunities to participate in, excellent restaurants, and a great location vis a vis Newark Airport and New York City. After narrowing our choices to Westfield and Short Hills, our boys actually made the decision for us by commenting that Westfield had lots of sidewalks and everyone was out and about compared to Short Hills, which had neither characteristic. We never looked back and happily raised our boys here, where they have thrived. In 2009 we decided to build a new home, but it had to be in Westfield, a community we'd come to know and love. So, we built this home on Wyandotte Trail, right around the corner from our old house. It fulfilled our needs perfectly. Perhaps it will do the same for you.
Our Town
When a real estate agent introduces a prospective client to Westfield, they'll invariably drive them through downtown's Mindowaskin Park because it's so beautiful and enjoyed by the residents. In fact, on a nice spring day like today, wedding parties literally line up in the park to take their wedding photos. There are band-shell performances in the summer to complement the tradition of Tuesday Night Jazz. My wife and I are very involved with the Friends of Brightwood Park, an organization devoted to preserving a beautiful nature preserve in our town. It's one of many civic organizations. If you're seriously thinking about moving to any town, you should do your research as we did. For starters, I recommend learning about Westfield by visiting the town's excellent website. We recently moved to Tampa to be near our son and grandchildren but there will always be Westfield in our blood. So now, come with me; I'd like to show you our home that is for sale and ready to be enjoyed by a new family.
