Located in Boone County in central Iowa, USA, Westwood is a small, quiet town about 30 minutes from the state capital of Des Moines, making it a convenient location for commuting. As the quintessential community-based town in Iowa, Westwood attracts residents with its friendly neighborhood atmosphere and safe living environment, and with a small population (about a hundred or so according to the 2020 Census), it maintains a strong rural small-town character. The local economy is dominated by agriculture and small businesses, and the surrounding area is covered by extensive farmland with occasional seasonal farm events and community fairs that showcase Iowa's traditional agricultural culture. Educationally, students tend to attend Boone County School District schools close by, community amenities include small parks and a community center, and residents live at a relaxed pace for families seeking a quieter life. Despite its small size, Westwood represents one of Central Iowa's livable small towns with its close connection to nature and low-density residential environment.
