Welcome to the City of Westfield

BY EVAN RINK

Whether you’re biking on the Monon, catching a baseball game at Grand Park, or exploring the restaurants around Grand Junction Plaza, Westfield has that small town feel.

Westfield, Indiana is located in an expanding Hamilton County, just 20 miles north of Indianapolis. Its neighbors are Carmel, Noblesville, Sheridan, and Zionsville. Westfield is served by one school district, Westfield Washington Schools, which encompasses one high school, one middle school, one intermediate school, and 6 elementary schools with plans to add another in the future. The Westfield Washington School district was given an A rating by the Indiana Department of Education and Westfield High School was recently ranked in the top 3% of all high schools in the United States. At the time of the 2020 census, Westfield, Indiana had a population of 42,000 residents.

Despite growing exponentially in the past decade, Westfield has found a way to keep and expand its small town charm. It’s a town rich in history, with its involvement in the Underground Railroad, and an economy growing faster than flowers blooming in the spring. The construction of Grand Park in 2014 put Westfield, Indiana on the map. Youth sports teams come from all across the country, and even the world, to play soccer, baseball, lacrosse, and football hosting more than 2.6 million visitors in 2021. The Indianapolis Colts also host their annual Training Camp at Grand Park which provides football fans and kids a front row seat to see all the action.

Westfield also offers 11 different city parks, some even having splash pads for kids on the hot summer days. If you enjoy the outdoors, the Monon Trail runs right through the middle of town, stretching from Sheridan all the way down to the canals of Indianapolis. The Monon Trail is just one of 6 trails, making up 36 miles of trail available to residents and guests.

Businesses are thriving in Westfield. The population increase and economic development projects alone is enough to convince companies to move here. Companies like Abbot who recently opened a manufacturing facility and SEP who moved their headquarters to Westfield. Companies also have the resources of the Westfield Chamber of Commerce at their disposal. The Chamber exists to enhance the business, educational, recreational, spiritual, and cultural development of the community. Everyday in Westfield a new business is moving in to get in on the action.

The mixture of Grand Park, amazing local dining, and the A rating for the school district makes Westfield a very attractive place to live or to build a business. Whether you’re a hardworking business owner, retiree, parent, someone working their dream job, or perhaps someone just figuring themselves out, Westfield, Indiana offers a tight knit place with wonderful amenities for you to call home.

From one neighbor to another, Welcome to Westfield!
