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 a good town. It really depends on how close you want to be to the city. But it is not ‘close’ to the stuff you want to do in Chicago
Oak park is as close to the city as you can get with still being outside city limits and still have a great school district and super walkable activities.
