I’m a bit disappointed with Elmhurst. The positives are that the schools are good, it’s safe, family friendly, close to highways and is 30 min from Chicago (with no traffic). Negatives are that it’s overrated, expensive for what you get and there’s no diversity. It’s great if you’re white but if not, you’re excluded. You’re a 2nd citizen if you’re a minority and it’s difficult to make friends. The restaurants are ok, dont get me wrong the italian food is good but everything else is very average. I’m moving out of this town for all these reasons.
My family and I moved over to Elmhurst when I was young and it is the town in which I spent the majority of my life.
From 1st grade to senior year at York High School, I was enrolled in the town's the public school school system and the opportunities I was given impress me still today as I a college student. The schools offer a wide variety of clubs and activities and work hard to ensure that each student finds a welcoming place. The elective courses at York are truly something to brag about and played a large role in shaping my career goals.
Elmhurst is relatively safe and the community is quick to share when something occurs rather they do so on Ring, Facebook, or word of mouth. Uptown is cute with many friendly shops and restaurants, however the night life can be improved as it usually dies down around 10 pm. Social status and personality wise, there is a variety of people who live here, but Elmhurst can work on becoming a more culturally, racially, and ethnically diverse place.

I love the community here! Elmhurst is an amazing place to live and create a family! I have been living. Here for more than ten years and I would not change it for the world! The schools are great! I have been using their k-12 public education system and I can truly say that Elmhurst made who I am!
