Westfield’s sense of community, affordable housing and high-quality schools earned it a place on Family Circle Magazine’s annual list of America’s best communities to raise families. Out of 4,200 cities and towns, Family Circle staff narrowed it down to the top 10 which included Westfield.
“I am so proud to call Westfield my home,” stated Mayor Andy Cook. “It’s an honor to be recognized as a great community to raise a family by a nationally known magazine, such as Family Circle. Although for me being the Mayor of Westfield, I already knew that. I believe in Westfield. I know what Westfield has to offer and I know where Westfield will be in the future. With projects such as Grand Junction, the downtown revitalization project, and the success of Grand Park, Westfield will continue to be recognized as one of the best places to live.”
Family Circle’s survey was based on communities with populations between 10,000 and 150,000 with median incomes between $55,000 and $100,000. This is the eighth year for the survey.
“Housing is affordable, the schools are stellar, but it’s Westfield’s sense of community that folks love most about this town,” the magazine stated. “Westfield, known for its frame-worthy views and excellent schools, makes this year’s 10 Best Towns for Families list and is featured in the August 2014 issue of Family Circle, on newsstands (now) and online at www.familycircle.com/besttowns.
Westfield was the only Indiana cities or towns to make the list.
