Moving to a larger or higher-end home, with the timing of both sides worked out from your numbers.
Moving up to a new home in North Peoria: what you get
Moving up to a new home in North Peoria usually means two moves at once: selling the home you have and buying the one that fits your life now. The key is lining up the timing without paying for two homes.
Your listing gets my full approach, and your purchase gets offers written to compete without giving up your protections, timed to fit your sale.
Why North Peoria buyers work with me
I'm Shannan Werckle, a Broker-REALTOR® with eXp Realty and the name behind Greater Peoria Living. North Peoria is where I do much of my work, and I know its subdivisions and condo communities street by street.
Sell first, buy first, or line them up. The right answer depends on your equity, your financing and your comfort with risk, and I'll help you decide with real numbers.
North Peoria homes fall in either District 150, where the high school is Richwoods, or Dunlap 323, where it's Dunlap High School. Most homes north of Willow Knolls Road are in Dunlap, but the line zigzags.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you handle both my sale and my purchase?
Yes. I coordinate both transactions, including the lenders and title company, with an update at every milestone on each.
Is North Peoria in the Peoria or Dunlap school district?
It depends on the address. Most homes north of Willow Knolls Road are in Dunlap School District 323, and most south of it are in Peoria District 150, but the boundary zigzags, so I always check.
North Peoria
What moving up looks like in North Peoria
Peoria's north side, where I do much of my work, with quick access to Route 6.
- The homes
- Between War Memorial Drive and Route 6, most homes and subdivisions were built in the 1960s and 1970s, with Northgate Park from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s. North of Route 6, most homes were built from the early 1990s to 2010, with the biggest building boom from 2000 to 2007 and slower building since. Several condo communities sit close together along Willow Knolls Road.
- Schools people ask about
- Either Peoria Public Schools District 150 (Richwoods High School) or Dunlap School District 323 (Dunlap High School). Most homes north of Willow Knolls Road are in Dunlap, most south of it are in Peoria, and the line zigzags, so it's always worth checking a specific address.
- Getting around
- Allen Road runs north from War Memorial Drive, past the Pioneer Industrial Park, to Route 6. Willow Knolls Road crosses Allen Road and is roughly where the Peoria and Dunlap school districts meet.
