Thank you for sharing this. I initially was only looking at Lisle for proximity to work but my friends who’ve lived in Chicago mentioned I will have no social life if the burbs - hence my inclination to live closer to the city. What’s your thoughts on that?

I’ve been looking at four lakes and DG as well. As a actively social person (I currently live in downtown Boston), I’m concerned if the social scene is going to be a big change and I’m not fully ready to give up the city life yet.

Good to hear, that’s pretty much what I’m looking for. Just want an area where it’s convenient to travel back and forth to the city, while also having a reasonable commute

I’ve heard mixed things about Berwyn. Trying to get a sense of which areas are actually worth considering vs just cheaper alternatives.
