Expansive lots and mature trees near Bloomington

Located on the western edge of McLean County, Twin Grove is a neighborhood characterized by its expansive lots and mature trees. Just 5 miles west of Bloomington along Illinois Route 9, Twin Grove offers residents a peaceful, country-like atmosphere with the convenience of urban amenities close by. Spanning 3.97 square miles, this unincorporated community is intersected by Kings Mill Creek, which flows into the Middle Fork of Sugar Creek, contributing to the area’s natural beauty. Despite its rural charm, Twin Grove is well-connected to major highways, ensuring easy access to Bloomington, Chicago, St. Louis, and Indianapolis. "At Twin Grove, you get that country feel, but you're still close to town," says Matt Hansen of Team Nexdwell at Coldwell Banker Real Estate Group.

Mid-century moderns to Colonial Revival homes starting from $190K

Twin Grove has a median home price of $360,000, placing it above 53.1% of Illinois neighborhoods. There's some architectural variety in the area's single-family homes. Styles include mid-century modern, ranch, colonial and traditional. Prices range between $200,000 and $450,000. There are stretches of corn fields along the western edge of Twin Grove and wooded areas throughout — something that's a selling point for many residents, Hansen says. "When I talk to people about the area, I mention the mature trees," he says. It's worth noting that the eastern part of the area is largely industrial.
