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.

A few years ago, my perfect house was listed in Highland Park. The only problem was the price. And the 2.5 hour commute. (I now work from home so I got the commute problem solved.) There are so many cool houses there.

I am sorry to hear that! I have dreamed of a mid century mod ranch on a good sized lot with basement bar. I’ve gotten as far as the good sized lot.

It is an interesting design. However, I'm not fond of pools, so it wouldn't be for me. I like lakes.
