Carpentersville: A Nice Chicago Suburb 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) I lived in Carpentersville for a few years and it was a decent place to live in. It's a short drive northwest of Chicago, so if you work in or close to the city it's a decent choice.

Getting around Carpentersville is easiest if you have your own vehicle. There are public buses you can use, but that's about it. However, there are a lot of forests in the city. One of the best areas in Carpentersville is the Fox River Shores Forest Preserve. It's right along a big river and a peaceful place to relax.

There's enough shopping available to cover pretty much everything you'll need, including a few department stores and the Spring Hill Mall downtown. If you're looking for a full or part-time job, you shouldn't have too much trouble. The winters can be a little harsh, but nothing too harsh. Read Less
