Set in the Gateway region, Westfield balances premier walkable suburb living with everything Union County has to offer. The town's population hovers around 30,000, large enough to support strong amenities and small enough to keep its identity.
Westfield is firmly a value-suburb and NYC-commuter market. With Union County's median sale price at $550,000, expect typical Westfield listings to land near that figure, though premium streets and renovated homes can push well above and dated inventory can sell for less.
Buyer strategy in Westfield: pre-approval first, then build a daily watch list, then be the first showing on opening weekend. Seller strategy: don't chase the market down — list at value, hit the first weekend hard, and adjust quickly if showings aren't converting.
