How could I forget Woodridge, I love that place. It has that small town feel. I lived there for 9 weeks and loved the community.

I suppose now that the "WalMarting of America" is complete people no longer associate a nice Groundhog Day / Back to the Future kind of Town Square with small towns an instead anyplace that has a Wal*Mart qualfies...
BTW For classic "Town Square" WOODSTOCK IL is what they used in the movie... |

Chet, Your on a roll, I couldn't rep you so you get an "atta boy". I forgot Woodstock and the nice small/hometown feel it still has.

I love the north shore - anything along the lake. I also love Wayne where the sprawling horse farms are located with 100 year old Oak trees and no neighbors in sight.

what if we changed it around a bit (this could get a bit uglier) - and the question was...What is that most overrated suburb? Again, could be home values relative to schools, aesthetics, traffic, schools etc. Enjoy.

Hinsdale, beautiful and "vibrant" downtown for suburban standards. Tall oak trees and hilly landscape around beautiful homes.
