About Student Housing in Peoria
Peoria, Illinois sits on a bluff above the Illinois River in the center of the state, one of the larger cities in downstate Illinois with a genuine urban core, a revitalized riverfront, and established neighborhoods that give it real character. Bradley University anchors the city's near north side, and the Moss-Bradley neighborhood and Sheridan Road corridor nearest campus have the highest concentration of student rentals. Peoria has an economy independent of the university, meaning the rental market and restaurant scene are shaped by more than just student demand. The city's size means students can access a broad range of amenities, though some areas require a car to reach conveniently from campus.
Best Neighborhoods for Students in Peoria
Moss-Bradley Neighborhood
The area immediately west of Bradley's campus anchored by Moss Avenue and the surrounding residential streets is the most walkable student-oriented neighborhood in Peoria. It has older housing stock with character and is close enough to campus that many students go without a car.
Sheridan Road Corridor
Sheridan Road runs north from campus through a mixed commercial and residential zone with grocery access, dining, and bus service. The residential side streets off Sheridan offer a range of house and apartment rentals at varying price points.
Glen Oak Park Neighborhood
The neighborhoods near Glen Oak Park east of downtown offer lower rents and larger properties than the immediate campus area. Students willing to drive or take CityLink buses to campus occasionally find significantly better value per square foot here.
