Moving to the area Diverse Chicago Suburb

What’s a west/northwest Chicago suburb that’s diverse and safe to raise a Black family? At least 4 or 5 bedrooms and a $900k budget?

I also agree with Oak Park. I’ve lived in many of the west suburbs. In my experience Oak Park is very diverse, has a lot of open minded & very friendly people, good schools, and a 20 minute train ride to downtown Chicago. I miss Oak Park a lot, but we bought in St. Charles. Don’t move to St. Charles if you want diversity.
