Why do residents love Wheaton? It could be the award-winning library. Or the town's award-winning walkability or ranking as a Tree City, USA. A calendar of community-focused events for residents of all ages is appreciated, too. Maybe it's an award-winning park district that manages more than 50 parks and recreation areas, including the Cosley Zoo and Lincoln Marsh Natural Area or the Danada Forest Preserve and Equestrian Center. Golfers love teeing off several Wheaton golf clubs, including the Chicago Golf Club, the nation's oldest. A long list of community events ranging from wine walks to the DuPage County Fair engage and delight residents. Wheaton regularly ranks on top places to live partly because of its highly regarded schools, historic neighborhoods, and charming downtown with coffee shops, boutiques and shops, and eateries.
