[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you looking for? Where will you work and how do you plan to get there?[/quote] Basically looking for Arlington/Takoma Park in Chicago. Job would be a transfer and office is downtown. I would take the train. [/quote] [b]Arlington and TKPK are really quite different.[/b] You should be more specific.[/quote] Yup. And Arlington is not monolithic either. FWIW, our soon-to-be DIL is from Naperville. She has many happy memories of growing up there. When we visited, it reminded me of Reston. It's a perennial "Best Place to Raise Your Family" winner in publications like Money. She and DS live in the Roscoe Village neighborhood of Chicago -- that might be more what you're looking for, OP. Lots of cute bungalows and other modest houses (though many are renovated within an inch of their lives), friendly neighbors, walk to the train and commerce (including Wrigley), quick drive to other neighborhoods with more restaurants.
