Re: Chicago suburbs
I grew up in Flossmoor. Great schools, good location, easy train access. Also there's a really good microbrewery at the train station.
But, it's to the south and not that close to everything else. Some of the surrounding communities are good also: Homewood, Olympia Fields, parts of Chicago Heights. Others are starting to get pretty ghetto: most of Chicago Heights, Steger, Matteson, etc...
Also I've heard good things about the Orland Park area which is along a different Metra spur, so it's got good train access to the city, but I don't know that much about it. I do know that those metra trains have a bar car, while the electric line that runs down to Flossmoor doesn't.
