[quote=Anonymous]I'm from Chicago and honestly you can't really go wrong with any of those suburbs. In fact, many Chicago suburbs have pretty good public schools. The city itself is a different story. To my knowledge, those suburbs will be overwhemingly white in case you have an issue with that. I can't really think of too many suburbs with a high Asian percentage. I believe Niles has a very diverse population and Asian presence, as evidenced by the presence of Assi Grocery Store (carrying Chinese, Korean, Phillipino food) and H-mart (which is Korean). Niles is not far from Glenview, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend living there at your budget level and to the lackluster schooling (unless you lived in the area of the town rolling into Maine South high school) Arlington Heights specifically has a pretty developed uptown with plenty of restaurants and the metra station. You probably don't want to live in the section that rolls into rolling meadows high school though. Glenview is nice but would probably avoid the Glen area due to your criteria of wanting established tree shaded streets. Can't say much about Northbrook other than the schools are really good. All these suburbs are pretty much working professionals that are family oriented. [/quote]
