Naperville

Lively riverfront city with a perfect suburban-city balance
Naperville is a thriving western suburb about 28 miles from downtown Chicago, but it feels more like a self-contained city than a typical suburb. With a vibrant downtown along the DuPage River, it blends historic charm, modern urban amenities, and family-friendly living. Naperville is often celebrated for its walkable streets, boutique shops, eclectic dining, and riverside parks, creating a community that’s active, engaging, and scenic.

The downtown Riverwalk is the heart of Naperville, offering picturesque walking trails, fountains, gardens, and public art installations. The city hosts year-round events, including farmers’ markets, art fairs, music festivals, and the famed Naperville Lights Festival, making it a hub for community engagement. Residents also enjoy extensive recreational options, from bike trails and sports fields to nearby forest preserves and golf courses.

Naperville offers a unique, balanced lifestyle that stands apart from other suburbs.

Neighborhood can be a little bit boring sometimes, to be honest. But the good news is downtown is really close and that's always really easy to get to.
