New Jersey Monthly Magazine Names Westfield the best medium-sized town (population 30,000-69,999) in N.J.
In addition to grabbing #1 ranking in the population 30,000-69,999 group, Westfield took #12 in the list of the Garden State’s 566 municipalities.
“The municipalities that performed best in this year’s rankings were generally the more affluent towns of northern and central New Jersey,” says New Jersey Monthly Editor Ken Schlager. “In difficult economic times, these towns tend to have the resources needed to hold the line on property tax increases, maintain school performance and protect their citizens against crime. This in turn makes the towns more desirable to homebuyers, thus boosting home values.”
The 2011 list of New Jersey’s Top 100 Towns was compiled by independent research firm Leflein Associates, of Ringwood. In creating the rankings, the researchers considered five categories best representing the quality of life in New Jersey’s 566 municipalities: property taxes; home values; crime rate; school performance; and a lifestyle factor based on proximity to services, entertainment and dining, as well as commute time.
These are among the factors my family and about 30,000 other souls are grateful to live in Westfield NJ. And it does show in the exceptional value strength and viablility of Westfield NJ homes for sale. I should add the elan and dedication of our teachers and the chic blend of local and national shopping and eating experiences in our notable downtown.
“The 100 Top Towns” are featured in the September issue of New Jersey Monthly, available on newsstands on 30 Aug 2011.
