[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll give Evanston another shot! How are the public/private schools? [/quote]Evanston is great, but nice houses are really expensive. Schools seem pretty good to excellent and there are several privates. I know many professionals who are satisfied with the public schools. I think it'd be both a good place to live without kids - and with.

With kids, I'd also look to Wilmette. It's pretty boring without kids, but has less crime and arguably better schools than Evanston. Also expensive real estate. All of the nice suburbs on the lake have expensive real estate. If you're willing to look in Highland Park, I think they have awesome houses - both 100 year old gorgeous homes and cool mid-century properties near ravines. And it's cheaper to live near the lake than in the more southern suburbs.

Before you buy, why not try renting is a suburb and see how it feels?[/quote]

DP, and Wilmette is gorgeous, but it's just as pricey as Evanston and less diverse.  Evanston is one of the more diverse North Shore suburbs, which I see as a real plus.[/quote]
