I heard Bucktown is nice, but google doesn't pull up where it is in relationship to where I'll be working (Bensenville).

Bucktown bordered by Ashland Ave to the East, Western Ave to the west, Fullerton to the north, and North Ave to the south.
The intersection of North Ave and Damen is "ground zero" for Bucktown.
You are a 45min - 1 hour commute away from Bensenville coming from Bucktown (avg is probably about 45 minutes at rush hour, but it can be much longer if there is a Cubs game or a snow storm).
For what it's worth, I live in Bucktown and work in Libertyville (35 miles away--twice as far as yours would be). FYI, the traffic starts backing up at 6:30 in the morning. If I can get on the road by 6:15, I can usually make my commute in 45 minutes. After 6:30, it's between a 1.25-1.5 hour commute.
