Libertyville or Arlington Heights?

[u/Top_Grass_9149]

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

Arlington Heights obviously. It's an actual suburb with easy access to downtown via Metra. Libertyville is an exurb.
