Westfield business market overview

Westfield is one of New Jersey's premier walkable downtowns — a 31,000-resident affluent Union County town with one of the strongest concentrations of independent restaurants, boutique retail, and professional services in central New Jersey. The town's NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line provides NYC commuter access. Westfield business sales attract premium pricing due to the town's affluent demographics, downtown vibrancy, and limited commercial inventory.
