Westland
Today, the City of Westland is an urban community located in southeastern Michigan between the City of Detroit on the east, and the University of Michigan/Ann Arbor on the west. The city's central location provides excellent access to the freeway system as well as air, sea, and rail transportation routes. Industrial growth is occurring in the western part of the community adjacent to Ford Road [M-153] and the CSX Transportation System. Available parcels in the City's six industrial parks are serviced by class "A" internal roads and all utilities. Westland Center, a major regional shopping mall, is located at Warren and Wayne Roads in the heart of Westland's commercial district. Additional retail, restaurant, and office options are also available to consumers along Joy Road, Ford Road and other main roads. The City's residential development is an excellent blend of single family homes, apartments and condominiums. This broad selection of housing opportunities is complemented by over 1500 acres of parks, two golf courses, extensive nature trails, the county-owned Edward Hines Parkway, and other recreational amenities.
