Many years ago, East Elmhurst was a very good neighborhood to live in. Now, however, with the influx of God knows what and hideous derangement, the neighborhood has naturally converted itself to unfriendly, untrustworthy, and dangerously unsafe environment. At night, you must be very weary and cautious of your surroundings in East Elmhurst because something is intentionally not safe and normal looking.
There isn't much to do around here-- shops and restaurants are just about opening up or being renovated-- and transportation is lacking. With no trains nearby, bus schedules are slowed due to the heavy reliance of East Elmhurst residents on about three bus lines to get them to major transportation hubs. While the neighborhood's population primarily consists of the elderly, people are still friendly and will never pass on an opportunity to quietly sit outside and listen to a neighbor's garage jazz band.
I moved to East Elmhurst at the age of 11, and I was instantly excited from the amount of diversity around me. I love my neighborhood because of the mixture of different people and cultures. There are a lot of green around me for living in the city, a lot of flowers and nature especially at the schools I've attended. Lots of school gardens and plants. I love my neighborhood for the old houses and designs that are not so modern anymore, but I live in an old build apartment building along with many replicated houses in front and on my block. So beautiful! Very quiet neighborhood , rarely any disruptence or noise !
