GREAT place to call home! - 5/1/2010
Elmhurst is a FANTASTIC town to live in. My husband and I both grew up in the Chicago suburbs, and have lived in Elmhurst for the past 5 years. We feel incredibly safe here, the houses and neighborhoods are beautiful, the people are friendly, and it's wonderful to have such good neighbors. People watch out for each other here, they teach their children to be respectful of others and things. Families are "normal" doing family activities together all the time. We don't have children, so I can't speak firsthand about the schools. There are so many parks and trails to enjoy. The police care about keeping the town safe. I truly can't say enough good things about Elmhurst. Bottom line: it's friendly, safe, tranquil, beautiful...just a GREAT place to call

No kids and newlyweds, we simply wanted a nice, older well established community. Lucky for us, we wouldn't move anywhere else in the Chicago area. There is actually one other city, I would suggest looking at - Naperville. Back to Elmhurst. If you are looking for a nice place to raise a family, look no further. The community is great. The schools are great. The people are friendly. You're close to the highways that can lead you easily anywhere in Chicagoland. Crime is low. Weather in the winter isn't terrific (sorry), but if you are in this area - you have no choice. Did I say the schools were very good - I know I did. But if you are choosing a place to live and intend on raising a family - you need to look at that first and foremost. My wife is an educator and has worked in other capacities in the
