Needless to say, Naperville made our Neighborhood Watch list of Chicagoland neighborhoods and suburbs worth putting under the microscope. And among numerous other perks - an incredible public library, a thriving public parks system - it's got a lovely little river walk, a prolific public art system and some beautifully preserved architecture (including one of the nation's original Burger Kings). The town's premier bookshop, Anderson's, recently was named Publishers Weekly Bookstore of the Year. (And 2008, and 2006, and 2004.) When Chicago restaurateurs make the leap to open in the suburbs, Naperville is often first on their list. Money Magazine named it "Best Place to Live" in the Central United States among populations of more than 100,000 in 2010. Naperville, if you weren't aware, was once voted the No. Depending on who's in on the conversation, you might even strike a nerve.īut why? Is Naperville all that different from the Evanstons and Berwyns in our immediate vicinity? If it's a bit farther away, does that make it less approachable? But for whatever reason, mention Naperville, even in passing, and you're going to get a reaction. Oak Park, Berwyn, Schaumburg, Evanston - those are all fine and good. Does Naperville have it all?
