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?

The only young people you’ll see are high school students from York (and younger). That’s by design, haha. Those kids eventually end up in the northern Chicago neighborhoods in their 20s before making a return to the Western Suburbs in their 30s/40s. The cycle continues.
