What Renters Like and Dislike About Elmhurst

Older well kept homes on a quiet street. Walkable to new complex that has restaurants, a salon. Reasonable walk to Albertsons, an older Italian restaurant and a sports bar and bakery.

We live in the suburbs in a former farmhouse. Many houses have been here a long time. We are close to the city but not real close, we are one hour from the beavh.

no comment. Their is nothing unique about it. Their is nothing else tom add to this question. Please accept this response!

This is a quiet neighborhood. It is near nature and parks. The transportation is OK. Mostly it is quiet and suburban-like.
