You still wouldn't have a ton of great 3BR options in Brookfield (SFH) at $205,000, but you can definitely get something that might need some basic sweat equity. Definitely more so than most other towns you are looking at. I think it might be a really good option for you! People are great here (lots of young families), close to downtown, has 3 (!) BNSF metra stops, has its fair share of bars/restaurants, and is <5 minutes to downtown La Grange for many many more dining/entertainment options. The housing stock is cute with lots of craftman, victorians, bungalows, etc.

Yeah, I agree that Brookfield seems to be a pretty good match.
