Moving - Bloomingdale,IL

My Hubby and I live in Countryside.. Awesome school District
District 105. This is Lyons Township district. Both Gramer school and High schools are great. My son is in Kindergarten now.. he has the best teacher around honestly.

We are right at the intersection of I-55 and 294... ( I work in Shaumburg)

I get the moving to have an even commute, but sometimes moving closer to the highways could be better.

Used to live in Blomingdale, but I know nothing about that district.

We live in Downers Grove and love it. Houses can be expensive, especially in the DG North High School district. Great neighborhoods--wide range of house styles. Good schools, park district, library programs, and a decent downtown. Close to 355 and 294, along with a great hospital. DG North is a much smaller high school than some others in the area, so you may consider that a pro or con, depending what you are looking for.

Your commute could get tough some days though. My husband used to commute to Sears in Hoffman Estates and anytime they were doing construction on 355 or near the Schaumburg mall or in rain or snow, it was pretty slow. Other than that, or if he left early, it wasn't horrible because I think most traffic is heading the other way. I have a friend in Palatine and it's a quick drive outside of rush hour traffic--maybe 35 minutes or so. Good luck with the decision!

Curious? What school district are you in now that you are unhappy with?

We live in Western Springs- dist 101 - great schools -our junior high is a blue ribbon school. High school is Lyons Township -rated well also. Happy to answer any questions - its a big decision!
