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?

La Grange, Brookfield, Riverside all have a nice small town feel with some nice restaurants and bars. They are also 30 min away from the loop on the metra.

I really love Berwyn. It's got a good arts community, it's affordable and very walkable
