Thanks for the comments/suggestions. My wife is the house hunter so I'll unleash her on the unsuspecting realtors of Naperville and environs.

My alternative to finding a reasonable place to live in the W Suburbs is one of the below, in order of preference. This should illustrate how important where I live is to me/the family. I'd rather live somewhere I like and be there less often than deal with a bloody commute.

a) live someplace like Indianapolis, drive to the office and spend Mon-Thurs in a hotel (blech though not as much as flying)
b) commute via air from my current location (blech plus cost adds up)
[dupe]
d) decline the job
e) live in Chicago and deal with a lousy commute and poor schools
