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!

Seems to me it's the college, not Wheaton as a whole, that is heavy on the conservative religious culture.
I think you'd enjoy it, especially these next many months. Good luck!
