New Neighbor Welcome
Welcome to Westmorland
A neighborhood made better by the people who call it home.
Rooted in neighborhood
First platted in 1916 and named in 1926, Westmorland has been strengthened since 1941 by its neighborhood association, bringing events, local advocacy, and community connection.
A neighborhood that shows up
Westmorland is known for neighbors who gather, pitch in, share information, and make room for new traditions alongside longtime favorites. Here are three easy ways to become part of the neighborhood and support the neighborhood association.
Three easy ways to get connected
1. Follow Westmorland
Following keeps you in the neighborhood loop and adds your email to the community update list. You can also share your interests, how you want to connect, and whether you may be open to volunteering.
Following is the easy first step, not a membership commitment. Choose only the options that feel useful to you.
2. Go to the next neighborhood event
The best way to meet Westmorland is to show up.
Start with the next Summer Nights concert, or another gathering that fits your family. Subscribe to the calendar for current dates, details, and changes.
3. Become a member + help keep it going
Voluntary memberships fund neighborhood events and traditions. Consider becoming a member and helping keep Westmorland’s community traditions going. Contact the membership chair or WNA board below to get started.
