A quiet suburb and a vibrant downtown scene
Pembroke Point is a quiet community comprised of neat subdivisions in southern Champaign. “It’s an established area, so there’s variety in the housing,” explains Jayme Ahlden, Realtor with Berkshire Hathway. “There are tree-lined streets that you wouldn’t necessarily find with newer construction, and people really like the location because of the parks and restaurants.” Public green spaces like Noel Park are typically well-maintained, while Route 45 is lined with shopping and dining options en route to Downtown Champaign. Such proximity to the downtown scene means residents have the benefit of a tranquil suburb with an easy commute to a vibrant hub.
