Naperville is approximately 36 square miles and is located in DuPage and Will counties in Illinois. It was
voted the second best place to live in the United States by Money Magazine in 2006.
Naperville is the fifth largest city in the state, behind Chicago, neighboring Aurora, Rockford, and Joliet. Approximately 100,000 Napervillians live in DuPage County, while about 50,000 reside in Will County.
Once a quaint farming town, Naperville has evolved into an upscale community due in part to a massive
migration of professionals in the 1990's seeking jobs and globally renowned public schools.
This can be seen in part by the enormous growth of high-tech companies such as Tellabs,
Lucent Technologies and the BP North American Chemical Headquarters, all located in Naperville.
Naperville offers luxury houses across the city. U.S. News and World Report recently ranked
both Naperville School District 203 high schools among the top 3 percent of high schools in
the country. Also, District 204's Neuqua Valley High School and Waubonsie Valley High School
won the Grammy Gold Signature School award in 2005 and 2007 respectively, ranking them top
in the nation for a music program in a high school.
Naperville offers its residents scenic view as branches of the DuPage River run through it and forest
preserves surround its perimeter. You will find many different types of businesses and industries,
historic neighborhoods, family-friendly subdivisions and shopping areas.
Naperville offers a rural and hometown ambience even though it is
only 28 miles west of Chicago.
