Why Live in Peoria Heights

Peoria Heights, Illinois, sits along the Illinois River and Peoria Lake, with picturesque bluffs shaping much of its scenery and attractions. Grandview Drive, described historically as “the world’s most beautiful drive,” is a standout attraction, running between the waterfront and the Country Club of Peoria and lined with exclusive Colonials, Tudors, and other high-value homes on nearby Miller Avenue. Most housing in Peoria Heights, though, consists of modest cottage-style homes, Cape Cods, bungalows, and ranch-style properties on quiet, tree-filled streets, in a community that is generally walkable and bikeable. Tower Park is another key attraction, with a 200-foot water tower, elevator-accessible observation decks, and a pavilion, fountain, and playground. Residents spend time along the waterfront at Illinois Valley Yacht & Canoe Club and Poplar Lane Park, while Forest Park Nature Center and the Rock Island Greenway provide miles of hiking and multi-use paths. Prospect Road anchors a lively downtown district with a busy strip of bars, restaurants serving Italian and Mexican dishes, and local shops, plus the Pabst Building, home to The 33 Room taproom, the Peoria Heights Arts Collaborative, and annual arts and food festivals. CityLink buses connect Peoria Heights to Greater Peoria, with two major hospitals within 5 miles and General Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport about 15 miles away, while I-74 and I-155 link residents to Bloomington and Springfield.
