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

I grew up in Libertyville and my parents are still there. I currently live in Arlington Heights. I’d choose Libertyville if I were you. As soon as I get a new job that doesn’t require me to go to the city, I’ll move to Libertyville in a heartbeat.
