About this Neighborhood

Elmhurst Heights punches well above its vibe score of 30 on dining alone: fifteen restaurants draw an enormous base of more than 18,000 Yelp reviews, averaging a solid 4.4. The names — 1618 Asian Fusion, 888 Pan Asian Restaurant, Pho Please — point to a real Asian-cuisine cluster that pulls people in. Beyond food there are two cafes, three grocery stores, two parks, and a fitness spot. A walk score of 62 makes the neighborhood moderately walkable — some errands on foot, some by car — and median rent runs around $1,328. This is a place defined by its food draw more than its breadth; the restaurant scene is the headline, while the rest of the amenities play a supporting, everyday role.
