Bartlett Illinois 

Bartlett is an obscure northwest suburb of chicago that is surrounded by Streamwood, Hanover Park, Elgin/South Elgin, Bloomingdale, West Chicago, and Carol Stream. If you’re not from the other places that were just listed, chances are you may not even know where or what Bartlett is. In a nutshell, it’s a mid-size suburb with about 42,000 residents that has NOTHING to offer. Filled with subdivisions and neighborhoods everywhere, we basically just have two starbucks, a jewel osco, a home depot, a few fast food places, and a decent park district, pool & library. other than that, we have NOTHING and there’s never anything to do here.

Our school district is U-46 , sadly, which means that Bartlett High School and South Elgin High School are both average at best, but are lowkey ghetto. Most of the teenage population of bartlett is doing some type of crazy shit whether it be drinking all the damn time, smoking tons of weed, or juuling. (possibly worse shit but who knows) Or in some cases, kids just drive around and waste gas, with no destination. But can you blame them?? Bartlett has nothing to offer. There’s nothing to do and in order to be entertained or find something to do, you need to travel to the surrounding suburbs.

Bartlett residents are always bored and have to go elsewhere for a good time. But overall bartlett isn’t that bad of a place to live. It’s safer and cleaner than some of the other surrounding northwest suburbs, that’s for sure.
