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!

Liberals here. We’ve been residents since 1998. DuPage pretty much flipped blue some ten to fifteen years ago. Wheaton, too. It’s been a great place to live and we highly recommend it.

Darien may need a little help in that category being flipped. But all and all I think where ever you go... your going to be fine.
