Hello all!

Just graduated college and have acquired a job with Gulfstream in Westfield. I'm from Buffalo, New York so obviously this is going to be a bit of a move for me. Nothing crazy but it is a move nevertheless!

I've spent a few days now trying to seek out places to rent in Westfield and in surrounding areas and I've found a few that interest me but it's still becoming a difficult task.

So I've come to you guys to see if there's any recommendations you have? I'm trying to keep rent 1200 and under which I know might be a difficult task but I've ran the numbers and I really need to keep that rent number.

Thank you guys in advance.

from what I read, in westfield the homeowner has to own the system outright. there are also rebates. I was wondering if anyone here has installed one and what the upfront cost and rebate amount was. Thank you.

as a kid i visited an old abandoned neighborhood off of city view. i think most of the houses are demolished now however there doesn't appear to be a way to access it any more. the road is 100% thickly over grown and theres no paths anywhere and it looks like youd have to cut through peooles yards to even try now. does anyone know if theres still a way too access this neighborhood? i just want to see what it looks like now many many years later.

Hello everyone!

I’m a genealogist & I am trained in discovering local Massachusetts family lineages and stories through vital records, census records, and newspapers.

This is the interest form I put together for anyone interested in learning more about their personal Massachusetts family history. I create family trees, ancestral maps, and historical road trip itineraries based on YOUR personal family history! It’s a great way to connect with your heritage and wonderful knowledge pass down to future generations.

Here are some things you can discover from my research:

• Newspaper articles about your ancestors (Crime? Scandal? Who knows!)
• Custom ancestral mapping showing your approximate ethnic admixture
• Most common causes of death in your family history
• United States migration mapping showing how your ancestors migrated throughout the country
• Your great-great-great grandparents’ names
• Most popular professions and careers in your family history
• Photographs of your ancestors you have never seen before (Found in Newspaper archives, I have subscriptions to several newspaper websites)

I have a degree in Anthropology and have spent several years working for a professional genealogy company. I have been working as an individual genealogist for about 6 years. If you have any questions about my research, please fill out an interest form or email: heritagehuntersgenealogy@gmail.com

For those of you with ancestry outside of Massachusetts, please send me a message. I’d be happy to help you or direct you to a better suited genealogist. Thanks!

Hey! I'm looking to team up with some people to rent a house or apartment in the area together. I'm talking to at least one other person who is interested. It's been a bit difficult to find interested parties, with neither of us originally being from the area. Anyone know of anyone who is potentially looking for a similar situation? We have a "the more the merrier" mentality! Open to working with people who have pets! We are both young females, open to other younger people of any gender. Thank you!

I have a small, budding record collection that I’m looking to add to. Any recommendations?

It has come to my attention that there might be an active shooter here in westfield. Information on what to do in an active shooter event can be found here

Hi, I'm curious if the air force jets practice regularly and where a good spot to watch them would be. I live in eastern mass and there aren't any good airshows this year nearby, and would just loke to take a day to watch them. I grew up near a USAF base and it was a hobby of mine. Any sugestions? Thanks.

not sure where to post this but I am looking for a place to rent in or near Westfield. I don't want to spend more than 1400 a month. I need at least a 2 bedroom but 3 would be better. I am new to the area, but it seems like everyone has a waiting list.

Where is the good bar scene tonight and tomorrow? I know Tuesday and Wednesday are usually dead anywhere but maybe there is an open mic or drink specials going? Town is beautiful btw!

I guess more jobs in Westfield is a good thing, but this will also mean more traffic, and that stretch of road between the downtown rotary (by the library) up through Walmart gets awfully thick with all the cars, and lights.

I overheard a woman talking about the above businesses coming to the city, and she mentioned one more, but I forgot.

Does anyone know what business is going in at the previously vacant lot near the Exit?
