Buying land or a home on acreage, or selling off it, with someone who has done both sides.
Land and acreage in Pekin: what you get
Land and acreage in Pekin covers both sides: buying a few acres, and selling land that's been cared for over many years. I help on both.
For buyers, I'll help you work through the questions a listing doesn't answer, and bring in the right specialists for the technical ones.

What land & acreage looks like in Pekin
South of Peoria, along the Illinois River.

- Homes more than 100 years old in the center of town, some fully renovated, then homes from nearly every decade through the 1990s. A few subdivisions are built around lakes, and there's a country club subdivision. As across the area, new construction mostly stopped around 2008 to 2010.
- What stands out
- A town of its own, a short drive across the river from Peoria.

- Pekin Public Schools District 108 (pre-K through 8th grade), then Pekin Community High School District 303, a single large high school.
- Getting around
- South of Peoria, on the other side of the Illinois River. One of the larger towns in the area, almost a smaller Peoria of its own, with smaller communities around it. Pekin Insurance is one of the major employers.
- Nearby
- Mineral Springs Park, about 200 acres with a lagoon, paddle boats, trails, playgrounds and a pavilion built in 1905, hosts the Pekin Marigold Festival every September after Labor Day. Golf is a big part of Pekin, with Parkview Golf Course, Lick Creek Golf Course and a country club.
