Naperville was recently named as the best city to live in across the nation, and now a Chicago burb has been named the best suburb to raise a family in. Case in point: Clarendon Hills. That kind of consistency says something about a sustained level of quality that Illinois families clearly value. In Clarendon Hills, those boxes aren’t just checked, they’re highlighted. With a population of just over 8,600, Clarendon Hills manages to strike a balance that a lot of families are looking for with a small-town feel and big-city access.
