The progressive Elmwood Park of the present is home to nearly 25,000 residents and numerous businesses.

Its location is ideal, placing it within 12 miles of downtown Chicago and Lake Michigan, and offering quick access to the region’s wide network of transportation options. Commuters take advantage of Elmwood Park’s locality between the Eisenhower (Interstate 290) and Kennedy (Interstate 90) Expressways, and the availability of the METRA and CTA bus routes situated along Harlem and Belmont Avenues. PACE also has routes through the village, and the bustling O’Hare International Airport is only six miles away.
All of these modes of travel offer residents and visitors links to some of the region’s top attractions, including the village’s Oak Park Country Club, Brookfield Zoo, Allstate Arena, a wealth of cultural and educational museums, premier shopping, eclectic dining sites and much more.
