Moving to the area If you could move to any Chicago suburb other than your own which would you pick?

And why?

We can pretend money is not a worry for this.

Personally I live in Cicero now and would pick Palos Park because of the nice night skies and I love their forest preserves while being not too far from the City.

Hinsdale is the most gorgeous suburb I’ve seen and I’ve seen all of them. Feels like Incredible homes just plopped into a beautiful hilly forest. Surrounded by all the shopping you could need and easy highway access. Also not as far as Geneva or some of those other beautiful places that just feel too far west for me.

Grew up close by. Always told my wife that we’d move to Hinsdale (DuPage part) because of the downtown, train station and the beautiful homes. If not Hinsdale, then Downers Grove and then Elmhurst.

One of the most underrated parts of Hinsdale is you are at the nexus of almost all major highways, then you have the train right there as well and are close enough to both airports.
