Please give answer ASAP.  I really need to buy a house soon.  I will
give a $100 tip to the researcher that answers this to my satisfaction
in a week.

I am looking to buy a single-family home in the Chicagoland area. 
However, I am not very familiar with the area.  I am only looking for
towns west of I-355 and I would like to purchase a house priced around
or under $350k.  In order for me to make my decision, I would like to
have the following information: school district ranking (ACT scores if
possible), average home price, county, average property tax, crime
rate, proximity to major highways, approximate home appreciations in
the area, large companies in the area, and new construction
possibilities.  All data must be compiled into an Excel spreadsheet. 
Large tip will be left for a thorough answer.  Thank you.
