Neighborly Town

3/1/2012
It's a small city close to the lake and close to Chicago. One of the biggest advantages is its schools. Most of the elementary schools have a great school rating of 9 and up.
It's true that it has more to offer to families with children, but with it's beautiful, established tree lined neighborhoods, it's a beautiful place for anyone to live. There's not too much in the way of restaurants, but it's close to Evanston, so there is still much to choose from if you broaden your range a little.
It is very expensive. I'm from California, and when I search online for houses in a beach town I am interested in, they are often cheaper per square foot, many of them with an ocean view. I guess you pay for perfection.
