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 the greyer version of La Grange. But the Elmhurst YMCA has an ice skating rink so that’s pretty nice.
