Lexington Hills has suburban streets along I-74

Lexington Hills is a collection of subdivisions along Interstate 74. While other neighborhoods on the western side of Peoria also border the interstate, Lexington Hills’s northern location puts it closer to the mall and to other shopping centers and restaurants in the area. Still, the neighborhood’s suburban atmosphere gives it a quiet energy, separate from the rest of Peoria but still close to the city via I-74.
