Elmhurst Apartment Living
Neighborhood Vibe
The thing you'll notice about Elmhurst is its abundance of greenery. This family-friendly community is full of restaurants, coffee shops, and generally pleasant gathering points and activities for friends and families. And what fits better in a lovely, leafy suburb than golf courses?
Heart of the Neighborhood
This lovely little gem of a movie theater has gone from a small place with four or five screens and an organ player to a historic theater with modern amenities. Moviegoers can watch films from opera balconies and marvel at murals and classic sconces while watching new movies. If a night out at the film isn't quite your cup of tea, you can visit the Sky Zone Trampoline Park instead. This large facility helps Elmhurst residents defy gravity. The Sky Zone Trampoline Park offers activities for all ages: dodgeball, parkour, foam pits, sky hoops, and more; get your jump on at this park. Don't worry; there's space for the little ones to jump and play too!

Elmhurst College is a mainstay of the Elmhurst community. For example, the college offers a public lecture series around current events and relevant topics to life today. Speakers include astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
