Hey all,

So me and my significant other are looking at moving to Elmhurst and, per another 2008 thread, the common consensus was North Elmhurst (north of North Ave) didn't seem to have much growth potential.

Fast forward 13 years to now, is that still the case? Via Zillow, it looks like immediately north of North Ave, there have been some tear downs and property values range pretty wildly from low 400s to 1M+.

Are things starting to change here or is it still up in the air? Thanks!

I guess I'm not sure what people mean by growth potential, but yes, there are a lot of tear downs and new homes being built north of North Ave in Elmhurst. Just across from me an old house was taken down and two new homes were built in its place. The house next to it was renovated down to the studs as well. Slowly, the older homes are being rehabbed or re-built.

It's a nice neighborhood to live in. We can still walk to downtown easily and we have several parks within walking distance as well. The parents I've met at the school are also very nice.
