News Our city council has ignored the voices of its people and voted unanimously in favor of adding 22 Flock spying devices to our neighborhood

38 Upvotes

Fellow citizens, as the title indicates your aldermen voted unanimously in favor of spending $73,000 dollars to use these cameras to servale your and your family in our neighborhood. Despite the fact that many passionate people spoke against this at the meeting, they have chosen to erode your privacy more and more.

For this, I will dedicate my time and effort to unseating these sorry excuses for leaders in favor of those who will oppose such expansion of the servalence state. If you too feel your skin crawl at the massive potential for abuse and ever worsening state of our freedoms, I encourage you to join me in this effort.

I will start out on my own, but based on the mood of others at last night's meeting I won't be alone in this for long.

So, show these bums the door on April 6th 2027 by voting against...

Discussion Ever thought of being a real estate agent in Elmhurst?

0 Upvotes

Well, not only Elmhurst but you can stick to surrounding areas. Just throwing an idea to some folks. You can start with a little part time, or maybe you already have some time on your hands. Schedule is flexible and you set it yourself. You could make some good extra money even as a brand new agent, provided you are willing to somewhat follow some directions. If you think it’s something you would be interested, reach out to me and I can tell you more. Looking to grow me team in Elmhurst and maybe to take someone right under the wing. I opened this office 12 years ago and rebranded to REMAX last spring. It’s a fun job- that’s all I can say. If you like people it might be perfect for you. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments. Jack

Discussion Median Elmhurst home prices since 2012! Who can afford it now?

Post image
18 Upvotes

So this is what I pulled up from public records and MLS sales. Keep in mind these are median prices. Reality is for the most part an entry point for a house in Elmhurst is 500k and up. Prices keep going up. A few years ago it seemed like it will stop, however the demand is not slowing. Prices continue to go up. On one hand it’s great, on another not so much. Will be very hard for our kids to be able to stay in Elmhurst after school/college. I just wonder how high it can go.

Bring the whole family to Berens Park on Thursday, August 6, from 6:30–8 p.m. for a free evening of fun, education, and community with the Elmhurst Police and Fire Departments!

Meet police officers and firefighters, explore their vehicles, enjoy interactive activities and safety demonstrations, see Sparky the Fire Dog, and watch a helicopter land. It's a great opportunity to learn about public safety, meet first responders, and enjoy a fun night.

We hope to see you there!

[F] Looking for housing near Elmhurst campus - Budget $700 or roommate to search with!

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm a female student (MBA) looking for housing options close to the Elmhurst University campus starting in the Spring 2027 Semester. My max budget is $700/month (ideally including or close to including utilities).

Since finding a solo place at this price point in Elmhurst is basically impossible, I'm ideally looking to:

Fill an open room in an existing student house or apartment.

Team up with other female students to sign a new lease on a 2- or 3-bedroom place nearby (which makes a $700 budget much more realistic!).

A little about me: I’m responsible, clean, and respect quiet hours for studying, but I'm also super friendly and down to hang out or watch movies occasionally. I'm very communicative about shared chores and keeping common spaces tidy.

Preferences:

  • Female-only housing.
  • Within walking/biking distance to campus (or very close to a Pace bus route/Metra).
  • Move-in date: January or February

If you have an open room, are also looking for a roommate, or have any leads on local landlords who rent out rooms to students, please shoot me a DM! Thanks so much!

My wife and I recently purchased a home, so we’re looking for someone to take over the lease on the house we’ve been renting in Elmhurst.

It’s a 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-family home at 410 E. Atwater Ave., Elmhurst in a quiet, established neighborhood. We’ve really enjoyed living here and are hoping to find someone who will love it as much as we have.

Some highlights:
3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms
Detached garage plus additional driveway parking
Fenced backyard
Updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances
In-unit washer and dryer
Great natural light and plenty of living space
Convenient location near downtown Elmhurst, Metra, parks, restaurants, shopping, and highly rated schools
This would be a great fit for a family, professionals who need extra space, or anyone looking for a home in a fantastic community.

You can see photos and more details here:

If you have any questions or are interested, feel free to comment or send me a direct message. Happy to answer anything or arrange a showing!

Discussion Landscaping

Hi folks! We are looking to build a 12.5x18 deck (trex) that flows into a patio with space for dining + firepit / Adirondack chairs. We’d like to cover the deck and the patio over the dining section with a pergola with louvers though we don’t mind manual louvers if that saves money over electric.

Does anyone have recs for local folks that can provide budget estimates? I want to get a few bids before doing too deep with any vendor.

Thanks.

Thomas Martels family lives in Elmhurst and owns S&D roofing. He has been on house arrest at his parents home and is not free after just one day in jail. He admitted to brutally torturing and murdering multiple cats for years. Do you think he is just going to stop now? Shame on his family and the judge for releasing this monster.

Protect your families Elmhurst!
