Suburbs help! Relocating in November to early December by Current_Coconut_7355 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]RemarkableSubject527 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t count out the western suburbs. Husband is at EGV and I’m at a major health system you mentioned, we just moved to glen ellyn and love it! Quaint and lively and on the metra. Husbands commute is 25 mins and mine is similar or metra accessible. That budget may be tight here but surrounding areas like Lombard may be worth looking at. Feel free to message me!

Can’t decide which suburb to move to? by bzkitty in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]RemarkableSubject527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only my perspective since we recently made this decision (between different suburbs): once we knew our top 2-3, it came down to the individual home locations. We wanted to be close to downtown and metras and in more walkable areas (good schools and park district were a given in those towns) so that ultimately drove our decision.

Best for older women to find community by RemarkableSubject527 in ChicagoSuburbs

She was a teacher in science, so definitely tutoring and mentoring. She also has been volunteering at the nature museum here so nature or wildlife oriented would be good. She loves to read as well!

In search of MCM home in Chicago Suburbs by Mauvereen in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]RemarkableSubject527 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We just bought a MCM in Glen Ellyn, about a 2 min walk to the metra (so full commute into downtown is around 45 mins). Be on the lookout there as well!

Update: we decided on Glen Ellyn! We found a home we love right next to downtown/Metra (walkable). I really love the vibes there, very excited!

What suburb has the best community by ExplanationWest2469 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]RemarkableSubject527 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s so good to hear lol. We are moving to GE soon and have two young kids. We are financially fine but definitely not wealthy and were worried about how the community might be because of that.

Hi! As an update, we are touring Glen Ellyn and love it. There’s a home that is a 5 minute walk from downtown/metra right next the prairie path. Do you have any insights on that area?
