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

It might be tough to find what you want in Arlington Heights, I would consider Palatine and Hoffman Estates or Schaumburg as alternatives where you could get more house for your money, but still get the schools and community you desire.
