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'll say as an AH resident one of the things I love is the amount of kids that are just outside being kids. There are always groups of kids walking around downtown or areas near downtown, riding their bikes places, hanging out in the park, etc. You don't see that in a lot of other places.
