We lived in Hanover Park in the Cook County section. Our children went to Schaumburg schools. It was a less expensive alternative to getting our kids into Schaumburg schools.
All the above are peaceful affordable places Frankfort has one of the best school districts in Illinois. Palos heights and Palos park are also nice places don’t know much about the schools though.. Floosmoor has a good school district along with Olympia fields but Olympia fields is pricey. But over all a good place to raise kids. So is Orland Park and Tinley Park. I’m not sure where this moderator is getting her info but she’s leaving out a lot of places. Like I said statistics are opinions wrapped up in paper that is regurgitated by the person giving the information.
@@StuckInTheKernfield the only reason I mentioned all those suburbs was I was just curious what people thought of them.. I'm from Palos and they have great schools they're a little high-priced but the towns are beautiful and there's hardly nothing as far as crime rate.. that's all I was doing curious of what you thought of those suburbs no big deal
It wasn't directed at you, Carolyne. I had multiple comments across my channel from one of the other people that basically said they disagree with every video I've made. I just figured I'd throw it out there that they can make videos too, if they don't like what's out there
If I started making videos like this I would’ve already made a video about st Charles and palatine being the least kid friendly suburbs for the last 2 years I hate both
Do you know that you listed the stats for Grayslake in St. Charles? I have an aunt still living in St. Charles. I was born one town south there in Geneva, IL, and raised one town south of there in Batavia. The Tri-Cities area consists of Batavia, Geneva, and St. Charles. Any of these towns of the Tri-Cities are great to live in, and have a rivalry in high school sports.
My aunt and unlce live in Geneva and I myself was born in dupage county and lived with my grandparents for some time in Lombard area. Now I live an hour drive from New Orleans in Lousisana and spent most of my adult life here. I still love visiting my aunt and uncle in geneva though, it's an awesome little town. I want to move somewhere in the surrounding Chicago area soon.
Warrenville has a slightly elevated poverty rate because of all the public housing that was deemed by the county seat of Dupage. It's actually sad...before moving to Schaumburg we were going to relocate to Warrenville. Passing through Warrenville it's all greenland and forest preserves. They have nooks and crannies of subsidized housing. For a small village that normally shouldn't be allowed. You have to thank Wheaton for making Warrenville have issues. Surprisingly they have an extremely low crime rate. I'm glad Warrenville is keeping that under control. Thank you for giving Warrenville some slack. All in all it deserves some recognition.
Thanks for watching! I put Warrenville on the list, because I felt like the positives outweigh the negatives. As you mentioned, there isn't much crime. Even the poverty rate, which may be more noticeable in a community this size, is actually below the state and national averages, so it's considerably better than a lot of the communities in IL. Their stats are better than that of my hometown.
I am surprised that none of the Northshore suburbs made it - from Evanston up to Lake Bluff are all really friendly and safe areas to live. I rented in Evanston for years and finally bought a home in Highland Park and never worry about anything. Yes, the taxes are slightly higher than average, but the schools are pretty darn good. Also, being a Northshore resident, you get to enjoy the Lakefront that's only accessible to residents of that actual town. Which is great because you don't have the crowds of the Chicago beaches.
It was the housing costs that kept most of the towns off the list. The average price in Lake Bluff is three times higher than the IL average, and Evanston's is twice the IL average. I might do a series of the different suburban regions and break down which are the best for each area.
I know. :-) I did that intentionally to see if anyone actually pays attention to my videos, and you're the first person to point it out. It's been up for six months...
Pretty cool video!! I was exploring other suburbs as we’re in the process of moving. One thing to consider, the statistics used for male and female earnings may appear to be a gender gap because of an increased amount of stay at home moms. Just a thought!
I never use statistics which are bias in itself. Best thing is to visit these places before moving because when you get the statistics sometimes it’s just opinions on paper. Lol
Hi. I plan to move to IL soon. Also I would like to start my painting company too. In your opinion,what's the best suburbs in IL for a single guy with a small painting company? Thank you for your time!👍
I like the southwest suburbs but ,everybody else has you know have their own opinion.. I like Palos Hills, Palos heights, Palos Park, Orland Park ,Tinley Park.. Frankfurt
I’m surprise Wahlburgers is still even around honestly. They closed the one in Coney Island, which is ashamed. I got to meet Paul Wahlberg opening night, he was coming around giving away free cheese fries to everyone. Nice guy!
Why is it that every person i encounter from Chicago Suburbs is very stuck up and mean? Is that how the personalities are compared to other cities national averages?
Chicagoland is mostly dangerous while the southern part of the metro area is the most dangerous of all. Why not pick suburbs in DuPage County, IL since it's the best county of Chicagoland and all of Illinois?
I’ve noticed most of these places are north of Chicago u have some good areas south Homewood, Olympia fields, Floosmoor, Richton Park all south of Chicago Umh miss this mark

I thought that naperville would be on this list
Cool, I am planning to go at Montgomery Illinois this 2023

It's my opinion, based on the stats. You're always welcome to make your own list.

Lincolnwood and barrington hills are incredible
Do you know that you listed the stats for Grayslake in St. Charles?
I have an aunt still living in St. Charles.

Yes, it gets people to comment on it. :-)

Where is Skokie, Niles, Oal Lawn
Mount prospect? Arlington heights? Glen Ellyn? Excellent villages.
Mount prospect is rated very well it's a beautiful area
Most of the towns are too close to the toll roads and/or too close to airport and Chicago
Frankfort excellent schools beautiful place to live
What about Ford heights , Chicago heights, Sauk village, Matteson, Steger calumet city,etc in others
😭this ah joke right ?

The county seat of DuPage County, IL is Wheaton, IL while it's largest city is Naperville, IL.
One of the most diverse lists I’ve seen,but I liked it. But I feel like you should have included Cary or Huntley on the top 10

@@StuckInTheKernfield Oh, okay, thank you for letting me know. The video was great, though, and I am looking forward to your others.
Evanston has an extremely high crime rate. Maybe not in the neighborhood you lived, but it’s extremely high.
There are a lot of nice towns that hasn't been mentioned, Barrington, Lake Zurich, Inverness, Hawthorn Woods etc!
We plan to move to Highland Park when we move from the city. It’s great!
OMG...Clarendon Hills...I must have missed the 400,000 homes behind all the gates....
Your St Charles graphics had Grayslake on them.
I know. :-) I did that intentionally to see if anyone actually pays attention to my videos, and you're the first person to point it out. It's been up for six months...
Schaumburg is my hometown

The reason there is a Wahlburgers in St. Charles is that Donny Wahlburg lives in St. Charles.
3 oaks recreational area & the schools in crystal lake are top rated
Grayslake is where I’m from! 🙏🏽❤️
Same.
Clearly list is skewed if Lake in the Hills, East Dundee and South Elgin beat out the likes of Naperville, Oak Brook or Winnetka. Crap!
Those towns are too expensive for the average family.
No they arent
Did not mention Palatine, I’m a bit unhappy 😉
My apologies. I'll be sure to add that to the viewer request video that I'll be doing later in the year. :)
@@StuckInTheKernfield Please don't forget Mount Prospect with its interesting history.
I don't agree with you m there are better suburbs
I agree Jeff way better.
Nice im from palatine
If the city is so great, why the suburbs? Good point.
Why is it that every person i encounter from Chicago Suburbs is very stuck up and mean? Is that how the personalities are compared to other cities national averages?
I am from the Chicago suburbs and I'm quite adorable and lovable. All I asked was the question and my question wasn't rude it was quite to the point
Wow one suburb is in Cook County . That speaks volumes.
true lol
Very true
Chicagoland is mostly dangerous while the southern part of the metro area is the most dangerous of all. Why not pick suburbs in DuPage County, IL since it's the best county of Chicagoland and all of Illinois?
I’ve noticed most of these places are north of Chicago u have some good areas south Homewood, Olympia fields, Floosmoor, Richton Park all south of Chicago Umh miss this mark
The best Chicago suburbs are in NW Indiana.
