Located about 40 minutes northwest of Newark and New York City, Westwood is a quaint, wooded borough perfect for renters interested in a small-town vibe. Westwood is best known as being the “Hub of the Pasack Valley” because of its vibrant, trendy downtown district that brings in visitors from across the county. Downtown Westwood houses a variety of charming local eateries, specialty shops, and more.
Have a family day at the Big Playhouse, an amusement center that mimics a town perfect for whimsical imaginary adventures, or catch a film at Westwood Cinemas, an old-school theater showing today’s biggest blockbusters. When residents aren’t enjoying downtown, you’ll find them spending their time outdoors at one of Westwood’s many parks. Westwood is dominated by green space on the east part of town, making outdoor recreation very popular. Pascack Brook County Park is great for fishing, picnicking, or playing sports such as softball, tennis, and basketball.
