I have lived in Western Springs since I was about 1 year old. I think this town is a great place to raise a family as it is a very safe community with great school systems and recreational sports and activities for kids to get involved in. I have spent many summers nannying various kids in the neighborhood and can tell there are many young families moving from the city into the suburbs and building new, very nice homes. The neighborhood is very tight nit and there is even a Facebook group for the moms of western springs to give recommendations and warnings about things occurring around town. The only thing is that it is quite a bubble and sheltered place, not exposing kids to very much and allowing them to live a more privileged life.
The Western Springs community is a safe, loving, and accepting community that I have spent the majority of my life in. Being in the Honor Society, I have gotten the chance to assist in the running of the Western Springs Historical society and have learned valuable information about our community in the meantime. I look forward to meeting even more of my friendly neighbors and helping the community thrive to the best of its ability.
Great area! Wonderful neighbors, nice train station and beautiful parks and great curb appeal. Good schools in the district as well.
