They have a great newspaper, "The Sun" that keeps me informed of all the local happenings. I have lived in Naperville for 15 years and I vote for Naperville. I don't know what type of housing you're looking for, but if you want a more modest home in an established community I think you might be better off in Wheaton. I think Naperville is also more expensive in general, especially in the older parts of town. Because of it's size, I think Naperville does tend to be more insular, and forget it's part of Chicagoland. Another reason for this is Naperville is where people often go when they get transfered, and while this may be you, it does mean a more transient population in some areas. I think you'll have more of a neighborhood/ community feel in Wheaton. The population is nearly 140,000 and it's the second or or third largest city in the state. Personally, I would choose Wheaton or another nearby town. It may have been true at one time, but the area is so big and diverse now. Wheaton is home to a conservative Christian college, but I don't know that it would be accurate to classify the whole town by the school. I'll assume you either will be working in DuPage County or downtown if you're looking at Naperville and Wheaton. If you work in the suburbs, though, make sure you live nearby. If you work downtown, you can live anywhere you're near a train station.
