Eschborn is home to numerous corporations due to its proximity to Frankfurt and relatively low business tax rate.

Between Eschborn and the communities to the north and west are particularly green stretches with some pretty houses, nice walks in the foothills of the Taunus mountains.

In winter, along and up those hills you will even find cross country skiing slopes as well as downhill sled runs used by large crowds of people, esp.

Large areas of the town are still undeveloped and green expanses fuse in with several high-rises, with a brook passing by the Rathaus (Town Hall) and running close to the S-Bahn railway line, that joins the river Nidda (which in turn is a tributary of the River Main that flows through Frankfurt am Main).
