North Peoria
Ample shopping and dining near Northwoods Mall
North Peoria is a highly commercialized area full of big shopping centers with national retailers, grocery stores and a wide range of chain and local restaurants. Locals can also shop from more than 70 stores at Northwoods Mall and enjoy a meal in the food court. Mark Monge, Realtor with Jim Maloof Realty, who was born and raised in the city, says, “There are a ton of great restaurants and breweries in North Peoria. Heritage Square is a popular spot to hang out with live music during warmer months.” Portillo’s is another local favorite, known for its Chicago-style hot dogs, featuring patio dining and a drive-thru. For quick Mexican food, locals head to Perico’s Fast Tacos. Meanwhile, The 50s Diner in the Schnucks Crossroads Center offers a nostalgic feel with its mid-century diner décor, American grub and milkshakes. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg for dining options, as residents can easily find a restaurant to satisfy just about any craving.

Small homes, luxurious mansions and everything in between
The neighborhood features primarily single-family homes in leafy subdivisions. Homebuyers can choose anything from tiny bungalows to stunning mansions and everything in between. “Average home prices are always low,” says Monge. “You’ll find anything you want for half as much as it would be anywhere else.” A small bungalow with around 1,000 square feet of living space sells for around $100,000 to $115,000. Bigger ranch-style and split-level homes from the mid-1900s go for about $125,000 to $200,000. Newer Craftsman-style homes in well-maintained housing developments range from $250,000 to $650,000, with sizes ranging anywhere from 2,500 to 4,500 square feet. The neighborhood also has beautiful custom-built homes starting at $700,000 for a luxury ranch-style and up to $2 million for a 9,000-square-foot mansion on a hill overlooking an allure of woods and the nearby Illinois River.

Home of the Heart of Illinois Fair
Expo Gardens is home to one of the biggest events of the year – Heart of Illinois Fair. Tens of thousands of people come every summer for the five-day spectacle full of carnival rides, motorsports, live entertainment and more. The fairgrounds are also used for other events throughout the year, such as car shows and a monthly flea market.View the planets at Donovan Park
Nature enthusiasts can visit Forest Park Nature Center, a 500-acre preserve with miles of wooded trails with sites of deer and other wildlife. Visitors can also enjoy the natural history museum and bird observatory. Detweiller Park is another popular spot to get some fresh air with a playground and sports fields for kids, along with a beach volleyball court. The park expands across North Galene Road, where locals can walk past the trees to the banks of the river to soak in the views. Boaters can launch from the boat ramp to explore the water. The park is also home to River City Raceway, a dirt track for remote-control car enthusiasts. Over at Donovan Park, residents enjoy walking through the wide-open fields full of trees. During snowy winters, those open fields and trails are a hot spot for cross-country skiers. And all year, stargazers can visit the park’s Northmoor Observatory to view the wonders of space. After a close look at the planets, Cyd’s in the Park is right there for a relaxing dining experience under the string-lit patio.
