Westmont IL Homes for Sale

Westmont may be one of the most quietly undervalued communities in DuPage County. The village of approximately 24,400 residents offers something genuinely rare in the suburban Chicago market: access to the Hinsdale Township High School District 86 — home of the #9-ranked Hinsdale Central High School in Illinois — at median home prices well below those of Hinsdale itself. As of March 2026, the median sale price for single-family homes in Westmont was $453,500, up a striking 37.8% from the same month last year, signaling that buyers are increasingly recognizing the value equation this community offers.

Westmont sits approximately 20 miles west of downtown Chicago, directly adjacent to Downers Grove to the north and Hinsdale to the east. The BNSF Railway Metra line runs through the village, with the Westmont station providing direct service to Chicago Union Station in approximately 40 minutes.

The Hinsdale Central Connection: District 86 Access at Westmont Prices

This is the defining feature of Westmont real estate that most buyers from outside the area do not initially realize: a significant portion of Westmont addresses feed into Hinsdale Township High School District 86, meaning students attend either Hinsdale Central or Hinsdale South for grades 9 through 12. For family buyers who want the District 86 academic pipeline but cannot afford Hinsdale's $1.4M+ median prices, Westmont offers a meaningful alternative.

Buyers should be aware that not all Westmont addresses feed into District 86 — some portions of the village are served by other high school districts. Verifying the specific high school district for any property address is essential before making an offer. The North Westmont and South Westmont neighborhoods have the highest concentration of District 86-zoned properties.

Westmont Schools: K-8 and High School

For elementary and middle school, most Westmont students attend Westmont Community Unit School District 201, which covers grades K through 12 within the village. However, for the District 86 high school pathway, students from qualifying Westmont addresses transition to Hinsdale Central or Hinsdale South at the high school level. Avery Coonley School, a highly regarded private school located in Downers Grove near the Westmont border, is also a popular choice for Westmont families seeking an independent school option.

Westmont Community: What Life in the Village Looks Like

Westmont punches above its weight in terms of community amenities and lifestyle infrastructure. The village is home to the FMC Natatorium, a 71,000-square-foot aquatic facility with an Olympic-size pool that serves both competitive swimming programs and recreational users. Ty Warner Park features a spray park, basketball courts, and open green space popular with families. The downtown stretch along Cass Avenue offers locally-owned restaurants, coffee shops, and the annual Taste of Westmont festival that draws the community together each summer.

The Westmont Auto Mile along Ogden Avenue is a well-known regional destination for car buyers, but its economic contribution to the village — funding strong municipal services and maintaining low overall tax burdens — is perhaps more significant to homeowners than its retail function.

Westmont Market Conditions — Spring 2026

Westmont's spring 2026 performance has been notable even by DuPage County standards. Single-family home sales were up 66.7% in March 2026 compared to the prior year, with the median sale price rising 34.6% to $466,000. This kind of movement reflects a market where buyers who have done their homework — particularly around the District 86 access story — are moving decisively. Homes are spending approximately 18 to 33 days on market, giving buyers slightly more time than the fastest-moving DuPage markets but still requiring preparation and pre-approval to be competitive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I send my child to Hinsdale Central if I buy in Westmont?

Potentially yes, depending on the specific address. A meaningful portion of Westmont feeds into Hinsdale Township High School District 86, which includes Hinsdale Central. You must verify the high school district assignment for any specific property address — it is not uniform across all of Westmont.

How does Westmont compare to Downers Grove?

Both are solid DuPage communities with Metra access and good schools. Downers Grove currently has a higher median price ($575K for single-family homes) and two Metra lines, while Westmont offers a lower entry point and the unique District 86 access advantage for eligible addresses. Many buyers compare both before deciding.

Is Westmont walkable?

Portions of Westmont near the BNSF Metra station and downtown Cass Avenue are reasonably walkable for a suburban community. The broader village is car-dependent, as is typical for DuPage County suburbs. The FMC Natatorium, parks, and some dining are accessible by bike or a short drive from most neighborhoods.
