But you pronounced it wrong. You don't pronounce the G in Cantigny -- you sounded like an idiot, or at least someone who's never been in Wheaton. It's "kan-tee-nee"

You think New York only has slightly better weather than Chicago? A New York winter is literally a Caribbean island compared to Chicago!

What about LGBTQ friendly communities in Chicagoland?

I love batavia

I live in Clarendon hills which came in second on here and it feels so safe and comfortable over here. Many nice homes and nice and quiet. A small town but many nice stores.

You talk about 2 high schools in context to Buffalo Grove, but you never mention Buffalo Grove High School. Makes no sense, especially regarding Deerfield HS

AWESOME video!! I'd like to add my own personal experience as well. I grew up in Flossmoor/Homewood area, lived in Wicker Park for a few years, and work in Palos. I am currently living in Plainfield Illinois and have lived here in a new home build for the past 3yrs. I'm surprised that this town wasn't listed. To be TOTALLY honest, this is without a doubt the best overall quality of life and living I have experienced so far. It's directly connected to Naperville, Joliet, Shorewood, Oswego and few other towns. I have NEVER felt safer and more comfortable than I have here. I could easily walk around my neighborhood (black male) at 2am and not feel the slightest in danger. Granted, I got in during covid and before the housing boom. The area has grown tremendously in terms of new housing AND it's not Crook i mean cook county. I agree 100% with everything said about Naperville and that is a well-deserved #1 spot. What's great is that I'm 20-30 minute (back road) driving from downtown Naperville. I cannot attest to the school quality as I've only been here 3yrs and my daughter is now turning 2. All of my neighbors are loving and friendly and there is a strong sense of community without crossing into the weird neighborhood watch/Karen category. Between Large city fairs, fireworks, farmer markets, nightlife events, downtown events.....i cannot recommend enough another well rounded town to live in that checks all the boxes without much compromise. IF I had to find cons, I'd say there is a huge abundance of new development homes now but not a lot of things like movie theaters and super upscale restaurants. Think like Hugos, Cooper Hawk, Sullivans. You'll have to travel out of town for those but once again, Plainfield is 20-30 minutes from ALL of these. There's a theater in Joliet mall 10 minutes away from me. While this town is not on the list, I HIGHLY recommend looking into it if you are searching for a place to live and using this video as a reference. I may have struck gold given my new home was built in south Plainfield a block away from route 59 which connects everything. I have a fire department less than a mile away from us, Shorewood and Joliet for food and shops less than a mile away, Naperville down 59 for City experience without going to the city, close to Plainfield Central (highest rated HS), and minutes from downtown.

Palos is a Spanish word, but it's pronounced payless for all three villages, not paylos. Also, I am curious as to why you conflated all of them into one Palos. Palos Park is the wealthiest, followed by Palos Heights, then Palos Hills. Just because they all have "Palos" in their names, doesn't mean their stats (demographics, income, geographic size etc) should be talked about as one lol. Yes, they border each other but they are not one unless you're talking about the township. I personally think Orland Park is the best southwest suburb, as it has everything from retail to dining choices. The western suburbs can be argued, as many Dupage villages are nice. I like Schaumburg, La Grange & Naperville. The north suburbs are usually even wealthier so one can take their pick as its subjective depending on what they're looking for. People seem to like Glencoe & Kenilworth.

Naperville better than Lake Forest, Winnetka or Glencoe??? Maybe if you are short with the money ...😂😂😅

Plainfield north and east is far far superior to Naperville . Naperville is too commercially dense, narrow subdivision street, clustered homes.

Miss Chicago, chicago is Always in my heart…

My vote is for Elmhurst. Great school district and a nice mix of big and small homes. Elmhurst is truly thriving.

Interesting video; didn’t know folks still retired to Illinois! I grew up in Barrington Hills; my dad hightailed it to Vegas upon retirement in the late 2000s and built a nice 4 bedroom home with in-ground pool and guest house there for half the price he would’ve paid in Illinois! He got tired of Illinois’ high taxes and cold weather!

I live in Clarendon Hills

All suburbs listed here are deserving I’m sure, but to not include Barrington and Arlington Heights is an oversight.

I’ve been robbed in Chicago multiple times fuck Chicago! For life, I hate it never going back there !

Naperville is the best place to live I lived in Naperville for last 35 years it’s the best place to raise kids

Darien is good for living

Am curious to know why the home to America’s architect Frank Lloyd Wright , the leafy suburb of Oak Park, IL was not in the list ?

It's not PAY Lowes.. it's "payless"

Best schools are Northfield 225 ou have missed naming some of the best schools and suburbs in chicago. The North suburbs have had the best schools on the national list for a very long time long time. You have missed out Northbrook, Glenview, Glencoe,& many others . The ones you have listed are not the best schools in the nation

Diversity lmao

What happened to Glencoe?

You will not find a single-family home in Hinsdale for mid-300k, I 100% guarantee you.

My family lives in Chicago

There is no methodology to this list--other than pay to play !

How about Tinley Park?

my mom and i are moving back to our home state of illinois being from chicago , but residing in las vegas unfortunately . we’re looking to move to schaumburg , il . looking for a realtor . if you know anyone in schaumburg or even your company please let me know !

Yeah it’s super dangerous here. In fact, I’m writing this from my grave. Bad reception down here don’tchaknow. Whoo. Super dangerous.

Lovely town but also has some of the highest property taxes in the nation.

Nice to see how Plainfield has been growing over the last year. Great video 🙂

Suburban sprawl, ew

Great video on new home developments in Plainfield! If you need help moving to your new home in Plainfield, check out Mobile Storage Solutions. They offer portable storage containers similar to PODS for a fraction of the price.

I love their

Yo I was curious so I looked Batavia and I wanted to say you did a amazing job on this video I’ve grown up here and I think you really covered everything

Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles. Safe protected bike lanes and trails are needed so adults and children can ride safely. Speak up for bicycles in your community. Bicycles make life and cities better. Ask your local transportation planner and elected officials to support more protected bike lanes and trails. Children should be riding a bicycle to school and not be driven in a minivan.

Bicycles, ebikes, electric cargo bicycles, robo taxis and escooters are great options for last mile, short distance travel. Reduced transportation costs and fossil fuels free transportation. Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles by providing SAFE, PROTECTED BIKE LANES and trails. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for health or ride for fun. Children should be able to ride a bicycle to school without having to dodge cars and trucks. Separated and protected bike lanes are required. It will also make the roads safer for automobile drivers. Transportation planners and elected officials need to encourage people to walk, bike and take public transportation. Healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. In the future cities will be redesigned for people not cars. Crazy big parking lots will be transformed with solar canopies generating free energy from the sun.

Lol all White population.

Homewood has way more to offer than any of these suburbs.

Libertyville?? Buffalo Grove??? Claredon Hills?? None of these are even in Cook County. Try Homewood.
