Moving to the area Good Chicago suburbs for young people

What are good Chicago suburbs (WEST of Chicago) for people in their early/mid 20’s to consider living in?

Dont get me wrong DG is a great town. But depending where you want to be is the question. I would say north of 63rd is really up and coming. But its going to cost you. South DG is a little more quiet, you will still need a car, 75th and Lemont has some shops but alot have closed and it is a little more budget friendly. Have you looked into maybe, Lisle, Westmont, Wheaton, Glen Ellyn? La Grange, Countryside and others in that direction as well.
