I've lived here since I was 4, now I'm in my 30's. I agree the schools and safety are great, but this is one of the most overtaxed places in the state and IL is an overtaxed state. Unless you have kids going to public school, there is literally no reason to live here. Commuting to Chicago is terrible, the restaurants and nightlife here are lame. For outdoor activities, some of the forest preserves are so close to major roads you hear traffic racing by (like the place off route 53 in Glen Ellyn). Safe but boring and overpriced.
DuPage County is a great place to live. Their schools are great & everyone wants to live in a place that is safe & has a strong community feel to it. The majority of residents that I've interacted with are extremely friendly and kind. Their are many Lutheran churches in the area. Great place to start a family & raise children. It's also close to Chicago where you can get to the city by car, train or bus.
