Thank you all for the information. I have a lot to do!
My main concerns with housing are:
quality schools and
a commute short enough that I can drop both kids off in the morning and pick them up after work without getting up at the crack of dawn and getting home at their bed times. I'm not entirely against suburbs. I just don't housing developments very much.
I'm not looking forward to searching for a school, after-school care, and a daycare. Ugh!

My start date in Chicago is at the beginning of November. I may move there in November and stay in an extended stay motel. That should give me sufficient time to find a place before my kids move to Chicago at the end of the Fall semester.
