Little River offers a serene, west-side pocket of Westfield where the namesake waterway threads behind backyards and quiet streets, yet daily conveniences and commuter routes (Route 20, Route 187, and quick Mass Pike access) are close at hand. Families appreciate the mix of classic single-family homes and newer builds with roomy yards, while outdoor lovers gravitate to weekend strolls through the gardens and trails at Stanley Park and campus culture at nearby Westfield State University. With Southwick just minutes away and the broader resources of Hampden County within easy reach, Little River balances small-neighborhood ease with regional connectivity.
Recreation is a highlight. Residents pedal the Columbia Greenway Rail Trail into downtown for coffee or seasonal events, launch kayaks when water levels cooperate along the Little River, and cool off at Hampton Ponds State Park, a quick drive for swimming, paddling, and picnics. Saturday errands are simple, and dining options range from casual local staples to campus-adjacent eateries.
Little River is served by Westfield Public Schools, with Westfield High School, Westfield Intermediate, and nearby elementary options supporting strong academics, arts, and athletics. Community life runs deep here—think youth sports, park concerts, and university lectures that keep calendars full without leaving the neighborhood’s calm.
