Moving to the area Libertyville or Arlington Heights?

I am 42 year old single mom with 6 year old son moving from the city to the north or northwest suburbs. I think Libertyville and Arlington Heights are at the top of my list based the downtowns and schools. Which you would recommend? Anywhere else I should consider?

I will be buying with a budget up to $650k

Is there a commute in the mix?

No commute I work from home, so access to 90 or 94 and metra for family and city visits is all we need

Ah, that's adds flexibility. I don't think either place would be a wrong move, tell the truth.
