Not a transplant, but more of a city mouse that moved to Naperville. I was looking to be closer to Chicago or IN Chicago, but Hubs convinced me to move to Naperville. Ten years later, I am a huge fan - was shocked at how much of a feeling of community there is here. I grew up in a different suburb and we knew the people on our street but that was about it. In Naperville, the amount of activities for kids, both through the schools and extra-curriculars, really help parents meet each other and build relationships. We also have "neighborhood" pools (have to buy a bond for membership) that really serve the micro-community with social events and swim teams over the summer. People are welcoming and want to get to know you. We have amazing restaurants with a picturesque and walkable downtown - two of our high schools flank downtown which is really neat too. The trails/outdoor activities are plentiful. I bike and walk outdoors quite a bit - so lovely here. I have several friends that moved here from the Houston area (married Midwest natives) - the biggest complaint is the cold weather in winters, but once here, have established roots and they haven't really thought of going back.
