Longtime lurker here, Rent is about $1,427/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. With a population of 24,201, Westmont is a small town. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. What neighborhoods would you suggest? Appreciate any input. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The weather takes some getting used to. The suburbs are where most families end up.
