Naperville Reviews

Definitely can be impacted by wealth and racial demographics, but Naperville is a fantastic community for raising children and pursuing almost any career! Many opportunities in the arts and media.
Naperville provides the fundamentals of living a healthy and happy lifestyle. Through its education system and opportunities to be a part of a community, any resident may treasure their time in one of the greatest US suburbs.
My education has been enhanced by the elite school system which provides students with access to resources specific to their topics of interest. District 204 has helped me blossom into the person I am today. The schools in Naperville prepare students for real-life situations and overall success at a higher educational level.
Outside of school, Naperville's many parks and the modern downtown area are appealing to explore Naperville's many small businesses and exciting activities. Often, my father and I take a long stroll along the riverwalk and stop for breakfast at Egg Harbor Cafe. We usually bump into neighbors and running groups, always seeing a friendly face. Naperville is the best city to be in to balance a lifestyle between work, leisure, and fitness.

This will be our families 4th year in Naperville, we are rural Northeast Ohio transplants. Naperville has everything you could want as a greater suburb of Chicago. Restaurants, shops, and publics spaces for kids to play and to keep healthy and fit. It's extremely safe and family friendly. There is access to a large public swimming area and the city hosts community events constantly. The publics schools are incredible, we are in District 203, and our daughter has an IEP. We feel incredibly lucky for that.
I gave Naperville 4 stars because it is not affordable for even the most stable middle-class or working-class family. Expect to see an almost yearly property tax raise and a mortgage for a rundown home that should get you a mansion in the rest of the midwest. You will also have to deal with the pretentiousness of the community, especially in academics. Ignore keeping up with the Joneses, it is not worth your time or energy and it won't guarantee your acceptance.
