Positioned around thirty miles west of Chicago, the large village of Carol Stream is a delightful suburb bathed in rich history. Regularly appearing on lists of the best places to live in Illinois as well as nationwide, Carol Stream has built a reputation as one of the most family-friendly communities in the region: The landscape is almost entirely covered by residential neighborhoods, with the rental market dominated by single-family homes (although a healthy amount of apartments and condos are available as well).
The exceptional public schools and low crime rate certainly boost the appeal for folks raising children, and the surrounding parks and forests provide excellent opportunities to spend quality time outdoors. Metra rail service to Chicago takes only about an hour from the nearby Wheaton station, making Carol Stream an excellent location for commuters as well.
