(芝加哥時報快訊)芝加哥地區最佳的25個郊區城市已爐，根據Stacker利用Niche的數據來研究來看，二十世紀中葉，GI法案、艾森豪威尔州際公路系統的建立、郊區開發以及汽車越來越負擔得起，使得郊區得以繁榮發展。在這個時期，新的美國夢被建立起來：一個擁有單戶家庭住宅、白色圍欄和綠油油的草坪的夢想。
然而，今天，傳統的郊區可能不再能滿足79%的美國人想要的步行性。根據2023年全國房地產經紀人協會的調查，年輕人尤其喜歡那些商店、餐廳和其他設施只需短距離步行就可到達的社區。但好的位置通常伴隨著成本。
Redfin的分析顯示，2019年在步行區域的房屋比沒有同樣步行性的房屋貴出近25%，相當於全國平均水平高出近78,000美元。一些郊區提供了城市生活的便利，無論是通過方便的交通到大城市（例如伊利諾伊州的Wilmette，靠近芝加哥），還是像加州克萊爾蒙特那樣的大學城設施。
當然，每個家庭和個人對郊區的需求都會有所不同，有些人可能會優先考慮安靜和額外的空間，即使這意味著需要更頻繁地開車。
