Life In Westwood
Located just 12 miles southwest of Boston, Westwood is a picturesque and tranquil suburban community that strikes a rare balance: a town with a commuter-friendly location and modern conveniences, that still manages to maintain its “small town” feel. Besides a stellar public school system (Westwood schools consistently rank in the 96th percentile), there are countless offerings that Westwood residents enjoy:
Hale Reservation which includes 1,137 acres of land, 20 miles of trails, and 4 ponds
University Station shopping and dining plaza
Multiple MBTA train stations (Islington & Route 128 / University Park)
Multiple public libraries (Westwood Public Library & Islington Branch)
Revitalized Islington Center (hello Neroli & Muffin House Cafe)
Ranked 13th on CNN and Money Magazine’s 100 Best Places to Live in the United States
