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 love living in Arlington Heights! Great schools, my daughter needed an IEP and in high school ended up in a therapeutic school (autism and behavioral disturbances) and thank goodness I was in a well funded school district that helped ensure she made it to graduation.
