About

Westfield ward lies on the southwestern edge of the city of York, primarily consisting of residential neighbourhoods built in the mid-to-late 20th century. The area is characterised by estates of semi-detached and terraced housing, with local shopping parades serving the community. It contains several primary schools and significant areas of green space, including the large Westfield Park, which provides recreational facilities.

A notable local landmark is the distinctive 'Butterfly House', a residential care facility with a unique architectural design that has become a familiar feature. The ward is bordered by the York Outer Ring Road, which defines its modern boundary. Housing here is generally more affordable than in York's historic centre, attracting families and first-time buyers to the area.
