A Toda Madre in Glen Ellyn is outstanding, as is Adelle's in Wheaton. Both are regional draws.

I also enjoy Fire + Wine in Glen Ellyn, and the chef recently opened Gia Mia in Wheaton.

Not trying to get into a measuring contest. Dt Wheaton has a couple dozen places to grab a bite, dt La Grange about the same. You're splitting hairs.

La Grange does have Glen Wheaton beat on watering holes.

The legacy of ancient blue laws, that once pretty much covered all of DuPage Co, with the notable exception of "WEsTmont"...

Since office will be in Schaumburg, that means along the Milwaukee West line to Elgin. Northwest line might work but requires bus connection.

We have three regular "bars" in downtown Glen Ellyn (Shannon's, Wooden Barrel, and the North Sider), and are adding a fourth one called the "Main Street Pub" later this year. And then there are bars in many of the restaurants like Fire & Wine and Cab's. I'm not sure how many more we need in that little area. I certainly never have trouble finding a place to grab a beer or watch a game.

Same in Wheaton. Most eateries have a bar. Muldoon's, Emmett's, Wok'n Fire, etc. and even a few nice spots outside the downtown district, like Warren's.

Would love a neighborhood/community where my kids can play outside with their neighborhood friends. My husband's office will be in Schaumburg and we do not want more then 20 minute commute if possible. Great work life balance very important. With 4 kids- we truly need a 5 bedroom home. I really don't want an old house that I have to fix up. Our budget- no more than a million. Would rather not spend that if possible. Really want a neighborhood, but have never lived in Chicago, so if that is not the norm- then just want a cool area safe and fun for my kids. Again- good public schools but also considering Catholic if possible. Would appreciate any advice or help... Very excited about this new adventure. BTW- my husband is there now looking!!! Barrington and Lake Barrington have been recommended. Any suggestions while he is there... Neighborhoods, houses for sale, great restaurants and bars
Barrington towns, and Inverness fit your high budget. Should get nice stuff for this price. However, not much restaurants and bars in this area, but most of the affluent towns in the West are Suburban, even somewhat rural.

Yes, look at the price the property is valued on, not the tax rate. That's the number the county Central Appraisal District will play with.
