Not Too Big, Not Too Small User Rating 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) Elizabethtown is one of those average sized towns that’s great to raise families. Education is one of the highlights, and the people are diverse, especially religiously which helps. There are a number of restaurants in town that are also familiar friendly. In addition to that, ...Read More there are Parkss and gyms throughout, as well many other opportunities to stay fit and healthy around the community.

Downtown is nice during the day, but at night, the city sleeps. After about 9 o’clock, there’s not much to do. Most establishemenrs are closed leaving much to be desired for poeple my age. During the day, however, there’s the mall in town that offers a decent number of options for shopping. They’re constantly adding new business, as well, helping with employment in town.

Overall the people are friendly, they don’t hesitate to help someone in need, and they are warm and welcoming as ever. I love this town because it’s just right, it’s not so big where there’s loads of traffic, but it’s not so small that there absolutely nothing here but homes. Read Less
