As for livability, you and your wife will need to sort out how urban/suburban an environment you prefer.
About "halfway", that would still be a significant commute for both persons. OTOH, if you lived in Northbrook, then you'd be left with just one commute. No matter where you live, roads at 5PM will be busy.
