Westmont pairs a walkable downtown built around its own Metra station with Ty Warner Park, a nine-hole golf course and quick access to I-88, I-294 and I-55. I owned and ran my own real estate office in downtown Westmont for 12 years, so I know this village from the blocks around Cass Avenue to the subdivisions south of 55th Street.

Living in Westmont

Westmont is a village in southeast DuPage County, about 20 miles west of the Chicago Loop. Its neighbors include Downers Grove, Clarendon Hills, Oak Brook, Darien and Willowbrook. The village grew up around a stop on the old Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, and the BNSF tracks still run right through the center of town.

Downtown Westmont lines Cass Avenue around the Metra station and Village Hall, with restaurants, shops and the Westmont Public Library close by. Cass Avenue hosts the Taste of Westmont each summer, along with weekly summer car shows downtown. To the north, Ogden Avenue (Route 34) is home to the Westmont Auto Mile, a long stretch of car dealerships.

The Westmont Park District runs parks throughout the village. Ty Warner Park on the north side has a splash pad, playgrounds, ponds, lighted ball fields and tennis courts, plus a sledding hill in winter, and it is also home to the FMC Natatorium, an Olympic-size indoor swim center. Veterans Memorial Park is the park district's flagship park, and Twin Lakes Golf Club on 59th Street offers a nine-hole executive course. Fullersburg Woods Forest Preserve in Oak Brook and Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve to the south are a short drive away.

Homes in Westmont

Westmont's oldest blocks sit north of the tracks near downtown, where early cottages and post-war homes share the streets with ranches, split-levels and two-story homes. Many older lots there have been rebuilt with new construction, so a single street can mix decades of styles.

South of the tracks, subdivisions such as Deer Creek, Ashton Grove II and Sycamore Run offer single-family homes on curving neighborhood streets. Westmont also has a wide range of townhomes, condominiums and apartment buildings, many close to downtown, Ogden Avenue and the Metra station.
