Sunnyland Home for Rent

Sunnyland, a suburb located eight miles from Peoria, offers a blend of suburban and semi-rural living with easy access to outdoor activities and essential amenities. The neighborhood is characterized by one-story ranch-style homes with brick and vinyl facades, modest yards, and some bungalows. Residents enjoy a variety of recreational activities, with Meadow Valley Park providing hiking trails, a dog play area, and a playground for children. The nearby Farmdale Reservoir offers additional outdoor opportunities, including biking and walking trails through oak and hickory forests. Local dining options include Bernardi’s for fine dining and The Ice Cream Shack of Sunnyland for quick treats. Shopping needs are met at Washington Plaza shopping mall, anchored by an AMC theater, and grocery stores like Aldi, Walmart, and Kroger are a short drive along Route 8. The CityLink bus line runs hourly along Route 8, connecting Sunnyland to Peoria, though driving is often more convenient. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, providing a low crime risk environment. While the local schools have average ratings, Sunnyland’s proximity to Peoria and its blend of suburban comfort and outdoor access make it a practical choice for families and individuals seeking a balanced lifestyle.
