Elmhurst Pointe, located at 111 West Third Street (just west of York Road), is a 32-unit residential community for active and independent seniors. Its downtown location promotes a healthy walkable lifestyle, offering residents convenient access to nearby restaurants, banks, shops and the Metra. "Boutique" amenities are also available, including housekeeping, transportation and concierge services, as well as on- and off-site social activities. Street level shopping and a public restaurant are planned for the site, along with special discounts for residents. "We are excited to bring this unique style of senior living to downtown Elmhurst," said Rodger Brown, director of project management for Elmhurst Pointe. "Location is very important when choosing where to spend retirement, and we want to make sure our residents’ lives are as easy and convenient as possible. Elmhurst has a great downtown, so all of the amenities they need are right in their backyard." In addition, Elmhurst Pointe residents can receive reciprocal services at its 30-unit sister community, LaGrange Pointe, located at 51 East Cossitt Avenue (the northeast corner of Cossitt Ave. and La Grange Road) in downtown La Grange, Ill.
