You are right around the corner from O'Hare as well. I lived out by Elmhurst and Demptster. There are some nice homes in that area within your price range, close to Busse Woods Forest Perserve, and 3 minutes to the i90 on ramp.

I'd avoid areas near the Des Plaines River. That area is pretty prone to flooding.
Des Plaines schools are very average. That would keep me from living there with school aged children.
