America is full of great places to raise your children, but some are obviously better than others. When looking at great places to put down your roots and start a family, you are usually looking for three things – safety, good schools and job opportunities. Here are five neighborhoods that rank high when considering the perfect places to raise a family in America.

Niles, Illinois

When it comes to neighborhoods that have great job opportunities, most of them are located close to big cities. Niles is one of the safest Chicago suburbs.

It also boasts a very low crime rate and a large selection of public and private schools of every level. The population is about 30,000 and the average family income in Niles is close to $75,000 per year.
