We are retired and moving to Chicago to be closer to family. Our daughter lives in Irving Park (the Villa) and we would like to be accessible via their train link to Palatine, Mt. Prospect, or Arlington Heights (for us to travel down to see them and for them to visit us).
We have traveled on a housing trip recently and like the homes in Palatine, but would also consider other areas along the train line.
For retirees, which area would be the best for us and have the best resources nearby? We want a house that is one floor (since my husband is in a wheelchair) or at the very least a first floor master. We like the suburbs because we are used to a little more space both in the home and outside the home. Our price range is between $500K and $600K.
It is hard to compare the personalities of the different areas on the web, so any help would be appreciated.
