What buy and sell at once looks like in Morton
Southeast of Peoria, with its own school district.
- The homes
- A mix of ranches and two-story homes, with a lot of relatively newer construction from the last 20 years. Morton has seen more new building in the last ten years than most of the area.
- Schools people ask about
- Morton Community Unit School District 709: Jefferson, Lincoln, Lettie Brown and Grundy elementary schools (K-6), Morton Junior High School and Morton High School.
- Getting around
- About ten miles east of Peoria along Route 150. I-74 splits the town nearly in half. There's a large Caterpillar plant, and land on the west side of the interstate that Caterpillar once planned to expand onto became retail, hotels and shopping instead.
- Nearby
- No traditional downtown, but a central stretch with restaurants, coffee shops and boutique shopping, plus several parks. Morton calls itself the Pumpkin Capital of the World, and the four-day Morton Pumpkin Festival, held every September since 1967, is the big event of the year.
