Transportation convenience
Serving as the centerpiece of Westmont, the railroad was the catalyst for the growth of this western Chicago suburb in the 1800s. While the railroad today serves a different purpose than it did in the 19th century, it still is an asset and one of the reasons why people live here. “It’s such a convenience to have the Metra tracks right there. Not every suburb has that luxury,’ says Beata Kolpek, a broker and Realtor with Platinum Partners Realtors with over 30 years of real estate experience. “If you live north of 55th Street, it’s not unreasonable that you could walk to the Metra station.”
The pathway to South Westmont's train station is beautifully designed.
Hope on the next Metra to Chicago at the Westmont Station in South Westmont.

Active park district

A picnic shelter is available to rent for parties of up to 50 people. Two soccer fields and a playground are included among the seven acres.

All other times, it’s a fishing spot. Golfers can enjoy one of three courses – the Green Meadows and Twin Lakes Golf Clubs and the Ruth Lake County Club. The Westmont Park District operates the Gregg House Museum. It depicts the brick-making business after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Bricks were produced at a reported clip of 70,000 per day at the museum site and shipped into the city via railcar to help rebuild.

Surrounded by interstates
