The vast majority of people in Chicagoland live in suburbs, which range from very densely populated (more so than Chicago) to sprawling and spread out. The near west along BNSF line often rate tops due to schools, proximity to both airports, city and variety of houses, walkable towns, etc. Places like Western Springs, La Grange, Hinsdale and Clarendon Hills. Naperville is nice but super far away from city, airports, etc. Oak Park and River Forest have crazy high taxes, way more than others.

Tinley Park has lower property taxes and cool little downtown.

Peter, I am a committed city guy but this is a good list. I'd add Evanston on top and Park Ridge and Willmette but those fit with my wants. We always joked about Naperville back in the day with my friends from there (Naper-Thrill per my those friends) but, if you are a couple with kids, you really can't find a much better place than Naperville.

Evanston. But Naperville, Oak Brook, and Hinsdale are nice too.

Evanston is great. Very similar to Oak Park in terms of being a suburb with an urban feel.

Thank you for the video.Why are so many Chicago suburbs unwalkable? I know this is the norm for many U.S. suburbs and there are exceptions (Evanston, Oak Park, etc). Chicago prioritizes 4 major modes of transportation (walking, biking, transit, and private car), why don’t suburbs try to do the same? Many only prioritize travel by car.

Batavia Geneva and Saint Charles Illinois. Illinois report card comes out with a 1-100 ratting for schools now and Batavia beats almost every high school in Illinois
