Oswego is awesome. Excellent school system. Oswego Community Schools - Oswego, Aurora, Joliet, Montgomery, and Plainfield IL I grew up in the area, but moved away in 99 then moved to Oswego in 04. I have a high schooler, 6th grader and 3rd grader. Schools are great. The community is great. We have a population of 25,000 and are still growing, but it is not overgrowth. We are only 1/3 developed. The current village president supports growth, but controlled growth. I am a big fan of the west/southwest side. It will never have commercial growth due to it's location. Check it out.

Definitely, Naperville, IL Great place to live and raise a family. 40 miles to Chicago, car or Metra train ride. Great schools. Western suburbs, Oswego, Plainfield, go west!

Try Oak Park. If I have kids in the future I would definitely have Oak Park on my checklist on where to live.

Hello, Jenne03! Looks like you've had tons of advice, so I'll just throw in my 2 cents.
From my personal Chicago outings and what I've gathered online, it looks to me like Brookfield, Westchester and Lombard are pretty decent; but of course require further investigation. Hope this helps! ![]() Last edited by mdz; 01-17-2008 at 07:20 PM. Reason: can't link to that site here |

can i ask a question of people who live in the chicago area? Does everyone live in a big suburb, i have quite a few friends in chicago, but no one really lives in the city, they all live in the large suburbs, like orland park, naporville, etc, their homes are expensive i think, so this is question, what does it take to live actually in the city, in a safe fun place, do they start at 1 million and up to be actually in chicago, in a fun safe place, thanks in advance, as i am weighing dallas vs chicago to move to, thanks.

No, Not everyone lives in the burbs, Chicago is very populated I assure you. You dont mention an age or price range, but Lincoln Park area, Old Town,New Town, Buck town,Roscoe Village, Andersonville, Lakeview etc etc, all very popular and very "fun" areas of the city, and thats just a very small list of whats available. Yes, you can find a home for under a mill, certainly in this market.
