Need input on where to live. I love the Lincoln Park, Old Town, Lakeview areas, but don't want to spend a lot of time driving to work so I am open to moving closer to where I work in Lake Zurich. Can anyone suggest areas that are (1) relatively safe (low crime rates), (2) racially diverse, (3) walkable to stores, cute shops, etc., (3) populated by single professionals.

I would suggest posting in the Chicago Suburbs thread. This one is primarily for areas outside the Chicago metro area. Your best bet - and it will still be probably at least a 30 minute commute - would be Arlington Hts. They have a thriving downtown it seems, lots of restaurants, bars, a movie theater, etc.

Arlington Heights gets good comments. I used to go up to the horse races and liked it a lot.

I think sometimes new posters log in, ask for help and forget they requested info on this site. I see so many CDF users who give time and sincere help to a strangers plea without so much a thanks back.
