Huntley

A rapidly-growing unique town on the fringes of suburbia NW of Chicago. Also the posterchild for suburban and exurban sprawl in the midwest. Famous for its small town charm, cows, outlet mall, gazebo, dairy mart, high school mascot controversey, and the largest age 55+ golf course community in the Midwest. Went from a population of 5,000 in 2000 to an estimated 20,000 in 2005.

"I take the Metra to work and it only takes 30 minutes"

"I like Metra for going downtown on the weekends"
