So I had a TON of good responses from the board about my failed attempt to move into Aurora... now I am looking at a town house in Naperville...
Any pluses or minuses for this township? I am looking at a town house right off of Diehl and just a hair west of 59. |

Great area! Great school district. Obviously great I88 access. Everything & anything shopping or dining-wise can be found along rt59 (except gunshop  ) Traffic can get heavy around rush hr & weekends. We'd practically be neighbors (2 mins away by car).  JR's is only 5-10min from 59 and 75th |

This thread is relevant to my interests, as my girlfriend will be a transferring to North Central in the fall. Is she cute? Does she need a place to stay? I will have one bedroom that I will not be using... 
No, Seriously I will have one bedroom that I will not use in the town house if I get it... Let me know. |

I personally find it worthwhile to drive an etxra 15-20 min down to Megasports (or Megaworld as my friends & I call it). It does stink that JR's is so close but so dang expensive. |

The college however took their sweet f'n time sending her information so she missed the boat on getting the dorm she wanted(Kimmel) so she is going to get whatever is available. My apologies for hijacking your thread. My father used to work off of 59 and my sister had an internship at Diehl and Washington. |

The area you are describing is Pebblewood. Odds are NPD223 has spent some time there professionally, but overall it isn't that bad.
I like Naperville. Yes it has its traffic and a couple knuckleheads on city council, but that is to be expected in a city this size. It is consistently rated as one of the best places to live in America. It has good people. Its a good place to call home. |

It's right by Naperville Central High School, it's a good place to go if you're into trapshooting but they only allow steel which makes it a bit more expensive. It also makes it harder on your gun. I have an old SxS Iver Johnson that I wouldn't want to shoot with steel, and it's not really all that valuable. There are some very shootable relics out there that won't be shot at Naperville. |
