Elmhurst Reviews
Rating 4.01 out of 5 146 reviews
Elmhurst is a small town with a big personality. The downtown area has an amazing variety of restaurants/cafes, stores, and local shops that has everything to fit your needs. The residents are friendly as well.
I've lived in Elmhurst for 25 years, born and raised here. The park district is a great asset. The schools are incredible. It is a friendly town. Though, it has gotten more expensive as years go on and there is not enough cultural diversity in town.
I love living here in Elmhurst, I always feel safe and love that it is only a thirty minute train ride to make it to the city. The public schools are great and the downtown area has lots to do and is extremely fun!
