Westfield, New Jersey Luxury Homes …. almost seems redundant, right? I mean, when you think of Westfield, NJ, you think “luxury homes!” Or do you? Some would say Westfield, New Jersey conjures images of yesteryear Colonials and wide boulevards, lots of trees and great schools. Well, that’s true, too, since all that is also characteristic of Westfield, New Jersey!
Why don’t we take a drive ………….…. Entering Westfield, NJ from the East, we generally travel along East Broad Street. In many communities, that would mean “business district” –but not on the east end in Westfield. Here, we pass beautiful and unique Colonials and Victorians on our right, and a spectacularly serene and stately cemetery along a tree-lined stretch on our left.
As we come up on Westfield’s Woodland Ave on our right, we might be tempted to turn right … heading into the heart of the Echo Lake Country Club residential area, featuring spectacular homes and neighborhoods, like this one on Golf Edge shown to the right ….
But, let’s continue along East Broad Street —- next, we come to the entrance for Wychwood on our right. This is one of Westfield’s famous and prestigious “gated” residential sections, boasting meandering tree-lined lanes, the Wilson Elementary school, and some of the most beautiful traditional Westfield Colonials … like this one shown above at the left.
Continuing on East Broad Street, we pass more unique and beautiful Westfield Colonials, both older and newer, as well as Temple Emanu-El on our left, which has grown substantially since it was founded in 1950, and offers an impressive early childhood education for Jewish children through age 6.
Then, as we approach the business district, we pass the Westfield Municipal building on our right followed immediately by the beautiful and famed 12+ acre Mindowaskin Park with its gazebo and waterspout, specimen flora, and in the winter, its lovely holiday lights. And we may even see a bridal party taking pictures, capturing all that beauty as a backdrop to their special day!
Next, we come to a cross-roads of sorts … Mountain Ave on our right, flanking the impressive Presbyterian Church of Westfield, founded in 1727, and on our left, the Rialto Theater, pictured below with its restored marquee from a by-gone era..
This is the true beginning of Westfield, New Jersey’s business district, which— no matter what the weather—is always thriving. With its national retailers and restaurants, like Victoria’s Secret and Starbucks— and wealth of small Westfield specialty boutiques and bistros, Westfield’s downtown is magnet!
Since this tour is about Westfield Luxury Homes … let’s turn right onto Mountain Avenue … and then bear left at the fork onto Lawrence Avenue where some of Westfield’s loveliest luxury homes reside.
Lawrence Avenue in Westfield is a delight to the eyes with it’s broad tree-lined street showcasing some beautiful old colonials, beautiful new colonials, spectacular Victorians and a few impressive ranches. The recently built luxurious Colonial pictured here on the left, is just a few blocks from this vintage Victorian shown below it to the right. Homes like these abound in Westfield New Jersey … which is part of the reason Westfield NJ is a “destination” community.
Lawrence Avenue also serves as a kind of “center line” —with the beautiful Westfield Garden District off to the right, featuring some of Westfield’s older and most charming homes … like this one
And the newer, usually larger Indian Forest homes to the left of Lawrence Ave … like this one shown below …
These are just a few examples of Westfield’s Luxury homes … and just a couple of the gorgeous neighborhoods of Westfield New Jersey. There is so much more …
