Our Community
Westchester is located in Cook County, 14 miles west of downtown Chicago. Three tollway systems (290, 294, and I-88) allow easy access to our suburban community. With a current population of close to 17,000, Westchester prides itself as a middle class neighborhood community where both young and old work together to form an active village. The diverse mix of ethnic and cultural groups enriches the community. Through partnerships within the local governmental agencies, the community meets the needs of its youngest members. The community proudly supports three public elementary schools, one Catholic elementary school and one Catholic high school.
