How to pick the right Naperville zip

Lock the school district first. 203 vs 204 splits run mid-block in 60563 and 60565 — verify by address, not by zip alone.
Pick your Metra station. Downtown commuters lean 60540; Route 59 commuters lean 60564.
Decide on era of home. 60540 skews historic / teardown-rebuild; 60564 skews 1995–2015 construction with larger lots.
Check county. DuPage (north) vs Will (south) changes property tax bills.
