Buying land or a home on acreage, or selling off it, with someone who has done both sides.
Land and acreage in Morton: what you get
If you're looking at land and acreage in Morton, you're looking beyond the house: how the land is used, how it's reached and what it costs to keep up.
For sellers, the property is the story. Drone and video matter more on land than anywhere, alongside paid video ads and outreach to agents whose buyers want space.

What land & acreage 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.
