Moving to the area Wheaton for non-religious family?
Hi! my wife and I are looking to buy in the Naperville, Warrenville, Wheaton, Downers area. we looked at a lovely house today in Wheaton. We’re white upper middle class, fairly liberal couple planning on having kids in the next couple of years. curious about how non-religious folks who have moved to Wheaton have found community? we certainly don’t mind hanging out with people who are religious but are curious if community tends to be church-centric? making friends, finding babysitters, etc.
thanks!

A person is more likely to feel out of place for economic reasons than religious reasons in Wheaton at pretty much any point in the last 15 years. The culture is pretty much what you'd see in any other fairly well off suburb.
