Elmwood Park Climate & Housing Patterns
Elmwood Park's dense urban surface area and proximity to the Des Plaines River's floodplain mean stormwater management is a recurring community challenge — heavy rain events back up the combined sewer system and produce basement flooding in the lower-elevation blocks near the river's eastern margin. The alley network that runs behind every block collects storm debris and creates access points that our crews utilize for efficient haul-outs in this tightly built community. Elmwood Park is a textbook Chicago bungalow suburb — developed between 1910 and 1940 for Chicago's Northwest Side immigrant working-class population, the housing stock consists almost entirely of 1.5-story brick bungalows, two-flats, and a smaller number of courtyard apartment buildings on 25–35 foot lots with small rear yards and detached one-car garages. The community's Italian and Polish heritage communities often had multi-generational homeownership, and estate cleanouts from homes held 60–80 years are among the most content-dense jobs in the area.
