My Husband and I are possibly relocating to Chicago soon if I get the position I interviewed for. Anyways, I was wondering if there are any small towns near Chicago, country like towns? I wouldn't mind a house with some land.

If not, then where are the safe parts of Chicago to live in and any good apartments? If we get an apartment we would live in the Suburbs of Chicago

If we move into a house we want the country feeling, but not too far from shopping, restaurants and such. I dont really want an hour drive to work.

Thanks in advance!

Palos Park. This look rural enough for you? 12300 South 86th Avenue, Palos Park, IL - Google Maps Use the little street walker dude google provides to check the area out. Palos Park is about as rural a town comes and still is in Cook County yet is within a 15 minute drive of this 15100 La Grange Road, Orland Park, IL - Google Maps (The south side's shopping capitol.)

Default Really needled more info...

There are places in the region that are probably both more "small town-ish" and more affordable, but without know WHERE THE JOB WILL be located wouldn't make much sense to just start throwing out suggestions...

MOST of the region is quite safe and livable, but again, if you don't share info about budget the info is not going to do much good...
