You're right. Stevenson is across the road (Half Day Road) from Buffalo Grove.

It is likely that it will be the town that my children will grow up in, and i will grow old in... so of course we'd like it to be perfect and fulfill all of our hopes and dreams  |
Sounds like you want a small town, preferably geographically isolated, for that community feel. There's definitely community pride in Stevenson H.S. But any of the towns in that area that have one high school for the community would have good school spirit if you choose to participate in it. Of course there will also be people who will ignore the schools, since there are plenty of other things to do in the densely populated area like the Chicago area. The more affordable places will probably have more school age children within walking distance. You can go to zillow.com and look for swing sets in the back yards to get an estimate.
