Re: Chicago suburbs
[ QUOTE ]
I'll be lookin to move to one soon. Don't know much about them, but can't yet afford the rich northern ones. Here's the criteria:
1. awesome school district
2. access to train to commute
3. reasonably priced housing (for a Chi suburb)

I live in Elmwood Park right now, but that wouldn't really fit your no. 1 criterion, so I won't even get into how much I love it.
Brookfield. One of the top high schools in the state (RBHS), close to the city, four Metra stops within just a couple miles of each other, more affordable than Riverside with similar amenities but less superiority complex (I'd claim they're pretentious in Riverside, but they really do have the better community, it's just you pay the price for it). I'd want to raise a family here. There's also the Brookfield Zoo. And besides meeting your criteria, it's just the kind of place that feels like home. Hope you find a good spot! Good luck,
