you need to go and drive the areas around the spots of interest and see what ''services'' are there and how clean the neighbor-hood looks to you --- if there are junk cars and stuff in or near the yards or on the street ___ it ain't for you ..... do not rely on this forum to enlighten you to a home purchase and especially in this real estate crunch (( if you find a t-house that you like make a minus 15% offer and see what happens ))) you can always go up but not down ....

I agree with the previuos post regarding going out and driving the area to see which one feels right.
But you also need to seriously take into consideration your job commute. I live in IL and can tell you that you're looking at congested areas. Don't rely on the number of miles because the time needed to drive those miles can be drastically different.
If you're already an IL resident, you probably already know that. Other things to consider are schools and government services. Choose wisely!
