Initially had a thread in the suburbs section and was thinking about park ridge, but we found a good place in edgebrook.

I'll be working in Oakbrook and my fiancee will be going to school in Evanston.

Any thoughts on this set up?

I'd allow 45 minutes to get to Oak Brook in the morning. Biggest delays would be on the outbound Kennedy trying to get to 294, which should be clear at that time (going against the usual AM rush on the Tri-State). In the afternoon, allow an hour -- biggest delays again likely on the inbound Kennedy, with perhaps a little slow traffic on 294 right at O'Hare. Also need to figure the best route to/from the expressway when leaving/arriving in Edgebrook so that you don't get caught in traffic that backs up around the train station, particularly in the afternoon. This depends on which side of the tracks you live. (Not that there's a wrong side of the tracks in Edgebrook, lol) Evanston is an easy trip from Edgebrook. Probably a half hour each way max, once you figure the best way to avoid school zones, shopping centers, etc.
