Also depends on the price range you're looking at.
Schaumburg is a decent area that's not too bad in terms of cost, but there are really a lot of neighborhoods in that area that are manageable. That said, what town you live in doesn't matter too much in terms of things to do, because no matter what you're going to find yourself driving to do things. There are plenty of things to do in the suburbs, it's just more spread out than the city (and, if you're really interested in doing things and attending events and concerts, you'll probably end up going into the city every now and then anyway.
wow, lots of responses while I wrote that.
Ok, first, Bucktown is a neighborhood in Chicago.
And, to be frank, you're not going to find what you're looking for in any of the suburbs. Except
maybe some of the ones just north of the city, like Evanston or possibly Skokie.
There's really no such thing as a "young, hip" suburb
They're not bad or anything, but suburbs don't have personality in the same way that city neighborhoods do.
