Westmont quality of life -am I missing something?
Born and raised here. Homes are going for about $617,300 on average. Household incomes average around $47,899 in Westmont. Poverty rate is 23.1%, which is higher than I expected. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Low crime in most areas
- Active local events
Cons:
- Hot summers
- Rising rent prices
- Lack of diversity
- Mosquitoes and humidity
Am I wrong here? Thanks! People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development.

The suburbs are where most families end up. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
