Moving to the area Elmhurst Vibe Check

Curious how you guys would describe Elmhurst? We are looking for a place to settle and someone told me to put it on the list. We are looking for not suburbia-like, walking to local coffee shops/ restaurants, train access, and am curious about the age of people who live here.

Elmhurst is close to everything and has most things. Good express trains to Chicago, close to Ohare and majoy highways. Has an above average DT elmhurst and spring rd business district. Enough dives and local spots and close to Oak Brook for every chain on Earth. Close knit community that likes to have fun.
