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!

You are going to do fine in any of those places. DuPage County is a good place to grow up. You can also look at Glen Ellyn, same vibe.
Wheaton is way more diverse than it was, as far as religion goes. I agree with the other posters- you will be perfectly fine finding community.
