Elmhurst Overview
Largely considered a western suburb of Chicago, Elmhurst is a thriving community with much to offer potential Illinois residents. With a population of around 45,000, this is a locale that combines the best of smaller city life with easy access to the amenities of a bigger municipality.
What is the history of Elmhurst?
Originally named Cottage Hill during its founding in the 1800s, Elmhurst came into its own around the turn of the century with the addition of a local college and train station. A number of diverse industries have continued to call the city home through the years, including Keebler and Kellogg's.
How is the weather in Elmhurst?
Like much of Illinois, Elmhurst apartment residents can expect snowy winters highlighted by cold temperatures, while the summers tend to be warm and sunny. Storms are commonplace in the spring months, with fall proving quite pleasant, although snow has been known to make an appearance as early as October.
How do I get around town?
Both O'Hare and Midway Airports are easily reached by car from a majority of apartments in Elmhurst, making air travel a breeze, and bus service is handled by the Pace system.
