Elmhurst, IL - Land of the Elm Trees 4 rating By Anonymous ( Jun 12, 2015) I lived in Elmhurst, Illinois about 10 years ago and for a suburban community with a relatively modest population, about 32,000, it was a relatively quiet community.

Overall, if you are looking for an exciting nightlife, Elmhurst will likely disappoint you.

Now this does not mean that there isn't anything to do. I attended a concert by the Elmhurst Symphony Orchestra and was very impressed. The nice thing about it was there was not a bad seat in the house.

There is an Amtrak stop in the heart of the city that makes going to Chicago cheap and easy.

There are the typical Midwestern four seasons, so there are times of huge snowfalls and hot summer weather. Most of the homes where I lived had garages, which means extra shoveling in the winter. In my area there was a ban on parking your car in the street after 9 p.m. Overall, it is one of those places that is great for raising a family and the city design is versatile enough to access major expressways and public transportation with ease.
