Welcome to Elmhurst

Elmhurst is a dynamic city just 16 miles west of downtown Chicago, at the eastern edge of DuPage County. As one of the closest western suburbs to the city, Elmhurst offers a quick commute paired with a thriving downtown and a strong community spirit. Its tree-lined neighborhoods feature everything from classic bungalows and Tudors to stately historic homes and newer construction.

Downtown Elmhurst is a destination in its own right, with a wide variety of restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops and the historic York Theatre, all clustered around the Metra Union Pacific West station. Express trains reach Ogilvie Transportation Center in roughly 30 minutes, and I-290, I-294 and I-88 put O'Hare and the rest of the region within easy reach.

Elmhurst is rich in arts and culture. The Elmhurst Art Museum showcases contemporary art and includes the McCormick House, designed by famed architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art and the Elmhurst History Museum add to the city's cultural offerings, and Elmhurst University brings performances, lectures and athletics to town.

Green space is plentiful, with Wilder Park and its historic conservatory and greenhouses at the center of the city's park system. The Elmhurst Public Library, Elmhurst Hospital and a calendar of community events, from summer concerts to holiday celebrations, round out the city's amenities.

With its close-in location, walkable downtown and vibrant arts scene, Elmhurst offers an ideal balance of city access and suburban comfort.
