On behalf of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce & Industry, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the inaugural edition of our Elmhurst Lifestyle—a magazine designed to feature in story and picture just a few of the reasons why Elmhurst is Our Kind of Town.
When Chicago magazine ranked Elmhurst as the No. 1 Best Place to live out of 192 Chicagoland suburbs, and then Money magazine named Elmhurst among the region’s “Hottest Burbs,” those high-profile accolades merely reaffirmed the love in our hearts and pride in our eyes for a community blessed with an IDEAL combination of schools, parks, culture, housing, transportation, safety and location.
Elmhurst has it all:
• Safe, well-maintained family oriented neighborhoods and parks;
• Award-winning public and private schools, including Elmhurst College;
• State-of-the-art medical providers, including Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare;
• Customer-friendly shopping districts across the community, including a centrally located, traditional downtown;
• A never-ending array of cultural attractions, recreational opportunities, leisure time activities and special events; and
• Outstanding municipal services.
Long recognized as one of the most admired communities in DuPage County, Elmhurst of today now stands as a model municipality for growth and redevelopment across the United States as well as abroad.
