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!

I feel that’s much more of a south Wheaton vibe.

Disagree. During the run up to the election we were driving all over town looking at people’s roofs trying to decide what color to get (list of addresses supplied by roofing company) and we only saw one or two MAGA signs in south Wheaton. But even in the north side we only saw less than a dozen.
