A Chicago suburb with plenty of horsepower
There are multiple reasons to drive to Westmont, and just as many to choose to stay. This western suburb of Chicago is known in part for the Westmont Auto Mile, which is considered one of the most notable assortments of car dealerships across the Midwest. The dealers bring tax revenue into a village of 24,400 with multiple school districts, diverse housing selection and popular local dining scene. “I think it’s really up and coming because the surrounding villages are more expensive, and it has a lot of the same conveniences,” says Maureen Flavin, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago and a longtime resident of the region. “So, people should be looking at it as a town for a potential purchase.”

Diverse architecture from 1910s to 2010s
Westmont’s oldest homes are bungalows built in the 1910s and 1920s, and they are available in the center of town in subdivisions like McIntosh. These homes sell between $200,000 and $450,000 and are among the village’s most accessibly priced options. Homes get newer and more spacious as buyers search deeper into either North Westmont or South Westmont . The village’s newest properties were built in the 2000s and 2010s and cover the high end of the price range from $600,000 to $1.2 million. There are also maintenance-free options available for condos and townhouses. The median price is about $380,000, which is less than nearby villages like Clarendon Hills and Downers Grove. “I would call it an eclectic mix of homes,” Flavin says. “And they range in style and price, as well as convenience to the downtown area. It’s also a town where it’s best to visit and discover what you like.”
