I'd skip most of the recommendations on this thread...some are too far away or are not that nice. St. Charles is nice but its a bit far and as I mentioned before its not on a main highway, a so called expressway as they are called in Illinois, so I would nix St. Charles unless you are going to work in that area and don't really want to go into the city very often.

My top pick to live, if you can find a house at your price point would be Arlington Heights. Its a really nice community with trees. Wonderful downtown and has homes that are not cookie cutter with character. Other areas to look are Schaumburg, and Hoffman estates too, as well as Bloomingdale, Roselle and Bartlett. I'd skip things further west as too far away and no reason to drive any further than you have to.

I don't think north STC/South Elgin/Wayne are all that bad. There might be a little extra commuting time but I think the schools are a fair bit better.
