Characteristics
Transportation
The car is usually the preferred means of transportation in Westfield. It is straightforward to find a parking spot. However, the transit in Westfield is not very convenient. Thankfully, the neighborhood is served by a few bus lines, and most residences are very close to a bus stop. Westfield is rather bicycling-friendly. Getting around as a pedestrian is not especially practical for property owners in this neighborhood since running daily errands is at times challenging without a car.
Services
It is easy to reach the closest supermarket as a pedestrian in this part of the city. Furthermore, Westfield is a good place in which to eat out, and there are also a few cafes in this area. Concerning education, primary schools are convenient to access as a pedestrian from anywhere in this area. In contrast, this part of the city does not contain any high schools.
Character
Westfield is a "jack-of-all-trades" when it comes to the ambience of this part of Newark. Although the atmosphere is not the liveliest in this part of the city with the bars in nearby neighborhoods, it is easy to find a place to grab a drink since they are generally located a short distance away. Westfield is very quiet overall, as the streets are generally very tranquil. There are a few public green spaces nearby for residents to relax in, including Phillips Park and Norma B. Handloff Park, and they are especially well-distributed, which makes it very easy to get to them.
