The City of Lights

East Peoria is located in Tazewell County and stands on the shore of the Illinois River, directly east of Peoria and about midway between Chicago and St. Louis. East Peoria is a growing, modern city knicknamed "The City of Lights" for its annual festival. Residents enjoy exceptional living places in a seemingly endless array of beautiful homes built among the trees that cover the high hills and steep ravines to the east of the river bottom lands.

Outdoor Activities at it's Finest

East Peorians live close to nature and enjoy outdoor activities. The natural hilly and wooded terrain that makes up much of the city's eastern area enhances the quality of life enjoyed by residents. So, too, do the splendid facilities of Fondulac Park District offering totaling more than 1,100 acres in park areas.

Education - The Top Priority

Since East Peoria built its first log schoolhouse early in its history, education has been a treasured commodity. Today, two public school systems serve much of the community. A third operates one school on the far east side of town. East Peoria has high quality public school systems and support with equal vigor an in-town community college.

Fine Living

East Peorians enjoy a unique residential environment. Some distance away from the river, the land rises sharply, creating a series of ridges before flattening into prairie farm land. It is along these picturesque ridges, with their accompanying wooded ravines, that much of the city's housing is located. Almost everyone, in East Peoria, lives in a home backed by or near dense woods growing out of the steep inclines of a ravine. Many homes, like those along Fondulac Drive and Highview Road, have impressive views of the Illinois River below, the skyline of Peoria beyond, or distant hills. There is a home in East Peoria to match any budget and any lifestyle. The elegant new luxury townhomes and condominiums of Harbor Pointe are springing up along the Illinois River to the north of downtown. The homes overlook the upscale EastPort Marina, a $20,000,000 project with 520 boat slips, plus restaurants and shops. Large new executive style homes are being built in the hills overlooking EastPort Marina and Harbor Pointe, many set at the end of long driveways and near the edge of a bluff that affords a grand view of the city, the river, and the Peoria skyline. Attractive, mid-size single family homes dominate the community's residential areas. Many streets end in cul de sacs with homes on both sides backed by dense woods and ravines. Even in areas where cozy looking apartment buildings and duplex homes stand, the character of the landscape is equally pleasing. Homes here are priced from $60,000 to $700,000.
