A neighborhood of homes near employers, shopping and dining
Though Eagle Crest is all residential, it is conveniently located near shopping, dining and some of the largest employers in Bloomington, Illinois. “On the west side of town, people like to be close to Rivian,” says Greg Zavitz, Coldwell Banker Realtor who’s sold homes in the area for over 38 years. “On the east side, people like to be close to State Farm headquarters.” Eagle Crest is less than five miles northeast of State Farm Corporate Headquarters and less than three miles from two highly rated Bloomington restaurants and chain stores like Walmart and Target.

Interstate 55 and a regional airport
Just north of Eagle Crest, drivers can reach Interstate 55, which puts Chicago 134 miles from Bloomington-Normal. Just south of the neighborhood lies the Central Illinois Regional Airport at Bloomington-Normal. While the airport does cause some noise, Zavitz says most see the airport as a convenience and not a concern. “People are so used to it. You can live anywhere in Bloomington-Normal and hear the airport,” he says. “But you get used to it.” There is no public transportation in Eagle Crest—the closest Connect Transit bus stop is just over a mile away, on Airport Road—but the neighborhood streets are all lined with sidewalks.

Parks for people and their pets
“A lot of the subdivisions in Bloomington have small parks,” Zavitz says. “There are a couple of dog parks too. There’s a dog park off Shepard Road, near Eagle Crest, and they separate the small dogs from the large dogs.” Eagle Crest Park is the neighborhood’s small park, which holds a playground and a basketball court. Nearby, Tipton Park has a splash pad, a playground and a trail that connects to other Bloomington trail systems, giving walkers miles of paved space to enjoy.
