I chose this title to find former Johnson County Kansas residents now living in the Chicago burbs. I am a JOCO resident relocating to Chicago in June. Any former Johnson County residents out there now living in the Chicago burbs?

We don't expect to re-create our vanilla lifestyle in Chicago, but would like to know how various Chicago burbs compare to Kansas City burbs. Looking for 4 bed SFH under 400K for our 3 kids (ages 6, 4, & 2), so schools and commute are ultimate factors. I'll be working downtown, near Union Station. Any advice to share?

I've been following house prices on redfin for a year, reviewing metra schedules, parking issues, etc. Questions: are metra schedules accurate? how common is it to find neighborhoods with schools close by? will my stay-at-home-spouse be sitting in traffic all day in some burbs? should we wait to buy?
