"Mayberry in the Chicago suburbs. Amazing schools with great people everywhere. Lively social scene with restaurants, bars, pool parties, back yard BBQs every week. Lots of parades and community events."

"It is a suburban setting but almost feels like a rural area for small town very close to the amenities of Chicago"

"Great community, the schools are great and I would not have wanted to grow up anywhere else. The opportunities and values that come from this town are hard to come by "
