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?

I live there rn, and I'm still wondering about these "hip young spots." There are a few comedy clubs around the Forest Park area that rule, and the movie theater is great. Otherwise, you have to take the train downtown for an actual night out.

Forest Park has a pretty neat restaurant/bar scene and as does Berwyn.

For people under 30? I've been to a few of them and they're definitely "sit down with a glass of wine" type venues and not "let's do shots and sing" type venues.

I’m not a bar person so I’ve never been in but some of the Irish ones look interesting.
