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.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
