Woo hoo! Arlington Heights! 😁
The Chicago Bears aren't the only ones who think Arlington Heights looks good. U.S. News & World Report put the northwest suburb in the upper echelon of its best places to live in the United States.
In the magazine's 2025-2026 ranking of the 250 best places to live that published today, Arlington Heights makes an appearance at No. 56, the highest showing for an Illinois town on the list. It also ranked higher than any Chicago suburb has at any time in the 2020s.
The next highest-ranking Chicago suburbs on the U.S. News list are Buffalo Grove at No. 63 and Naperville at No. 76. The magazine's research took into account several measures of quality of life, including school quality and availability of health care, as well as housing affordability, the presence of entertainment and cultural venues, and commute times.
