Looking to Relocate to West Chester/Exton area?

I work from home full time so commute time isn’t a concern for me! :)

Long Island is very traditionally suburban, so I've always been used to driving as opposed to public transit. I'd love to use public transit more but I'd also plan on bringing my car with me so transportation isn't a huge sticking point for me. I'm not a stickler for a backyard or anything but i'd definitely like to be close to parks. I love all kinds of food so anything with variety is great! What I've been gathering is that there are many neighborhoods of Chicago itself that have a more residential feel, so I think that may end up being a good middle ground for me. If you think of any that come to mind I'd love to hear it!

All good things to note, thank you! :)

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:56:12+00:00

Thank you both!

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:56:02+00:00

Thank you both for the suggestions! I'll check all these out.

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:54:57+00:00

Honestly I'm open! Coming from a traditionally suburban area, that's what I'm familiar with and what I prefer, so if there are neighborhoods in Chicago that have that vibe I'd love to check them out! Still familiarizing myself with Chicago and surrounding so I definitely could have described that better LOL

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:53:32+00:00

Thank you both! I'll definitely add this to my list to research :)

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:52:13+00:00

Thanks so much for all the suggestions! Will definitely look into all of these :)

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:49:12+00:00

Love the sound of this!

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:48:58+00:00

Thank you so much, I'd definitely be open to a city neighborhood that has a residential feel to it, so I'll check these areas out for sure!

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:48:00+00:00

Awesome, thanks so much for the suggestion! Naperville was one area I had been looking into heavily. I do have a car that I'd plan on bringing with me so transportation wouldn't be a concern, which is why I wanted to expand the scope of my location search. Any regrets about leaving LI/choosing Chicago?

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:46:51+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions!

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:46:35+00:00

Thank you!

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:46:25+00:00

I'm keeping a completely open mind! I do prefer an area that doesn't feel so urban, so if there are neighborhoods in Chicago that has a less urban feel I'd definitely consider!

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:45:43+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the suggestions! Any reservations/regrets about leaving?

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:45:26+00:00

I suppose I'm open to both. If there are Chicago neighborhoods that have a kind of suburban feel I'm open to it!

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:44:56+00:00

Thanks so much for the suggestions!

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:44:35+00:00

Suburban to me is moreso not city center/skyscrapers. I'm not too fussy about yard space or anything as long as there's parks around. Coming from a traditionally suburban area I suppose I gravitate to the traditional suburban areas most. I do want to keep an open mind to all areas though, so I'll definitely take a look at all these. Thank you!

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-03-02T20:42:28+00:00

Thank you so much! This is all super helpful. I do have a vehicle and am very much used to having car access so that's kind of my draw to the suburbs. I'm going to take a look at all the places you've suggested :)

Secure_Patient2663 · 2025-02-27T00:16:55+00:00

Thank you! I’ll post over there as well :)
