similar to Schuamburg?

So I really like the look/feel of schaumburg but hate how far it is from downtown. So what would be the CLOSEST suburb to downtown that has the schaumburg look/feel?

just like the spaciousness, mall/shopping, places to eat etc. I just feel that downtown areas like LP are just too congested to me. So I want to have the suburban kind of life but still not be too far from downtown.

Hmm. Oak Park, Cicero, Berwyn, one of the other western suburbs.

But none are like Schaumburg.
