Yeah. Oak Park is dense but is urban. Same as Evanston. But Maywood is dense but very suburban.
Oak Park was actually the neighborhood I was thinking of. As far as density, I would imagine it's pretty close to the Montrose and Rice Village area in Houston which is practically the hart of the city.

Evanston, oak park, berwyn, cicero, maywood, parts of melrose park, parts of forest park, etc. Are all dense suburbs.
I never understood why people assume sprawling cookie cutter homes when suburbs are mentioned.
There are different types.
I agree 100%
I how how the term "Suburbs" is always being used with such a broad brush. Souless, tacky, and stripmally is what a lot of urbanites think of "Suburbs" to feel superior.
The Chicago burbs you named are far from tacky and souless... Cept for Maywood... I've heard things

Mostly because when people think of suburbs today, they think of the Post WW2 suburbs. Suburbs like Oak Park do not come to mind. Suburbs like Schaumburg, Illinois, Katy, Texas, and more are what people think as suburbs and sadly, they make up the majority us suburbs I think. It's unfair but it's understandable.
Heck Houston Heights was once a nice inner ring suburb that had streetcars and was pretty vibrant before Houston annexed it. But even if it wasn't, many people would not look at it as "suburban" like they look at Katy.

Maywood isn't soulless... it's just and evil soul.
That's because a lot of Texans think in a backward way.
Kinda like with you and Reggaeton?
