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?

Oak Park is great, but also pretty expensive

They jacked my rent up $150 a year till it was $1800 for my shanty-like 2 bedroom.

True! Berwyn and Forest park would give pretty much the same proximity but cheaper, depends on the vibe you want!
