How is Westmont for outdoor activities?

Alright, I work in healthcare and With a population of 13,870, Westmont is a small town. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Would love some local perspective. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.

I've been here 1 years and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The thing nobody mentions is housing market. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the housing market is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is better than expected.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Lakewood side vs the The Heights side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

No regrets on my end..

I've lived in Fairview for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Seattle, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events and festivals
- The pet-friendliness scene is solid

The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Homeless population growing downtown

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for young professionals. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Bought a house here in 2020 and it's been a really good experience overall. Property values have gone up a bit since then.
