Washington Neighborhoods and Real Estate
East of Peoria and East Peoria, with a historic town square and Five Points Washington.
Living in Washington
Washington IL neighborhoods sit east of both Peoria and East Peoria. Heading east from Peoria, you cross the Illinois River into East Peoria, then reach Washington, and Eureka sits almost in a direct line farther east.
The heart of town is a historic square with a park and fountain, specialty shops and boutiques, restaurants, a local winery, and the Cornerstone Inn, a boutique hotel in a restored 19th-century bank building. There has been a lot of development in Washington over the last 20 to 30 years.
Talk About Washington
How I serve Washington
I'm Shannan Werckle, a Broker-REALTOR® with eXp Realty and the name behind Greater Peoria Living. Washington is one of the towns I work in regularly.
Because older and newer homes often sit side by side here, comparing a home to the right sales matters more than usual. You'll see every number first, then get a room-by-room plan and a launch with a floor plan, professional photos, paid video ads and agent outreach. See selling a home in Washington.
Buyers get the real cost of owning, property taxes included, before they commit. See buying a home in Washington.
Washington homes
Older homes sit toward the center of town. After the EF4 tornado of November 17, 2013, many homes in several neighborhoods were rebuilt, so a 1950s home can sit right next to one that's much newer and larger. That means you can find newer homes on established streets here.
Washington schools
Three grade-school districts, Washington District 50, Central School District 51 and Washington Grade School District 52, all feed Washington Community High School District 308. Which grade-school district serves a home depends on the address, so I always confirm it. Always confirm property taxes and exemptions with your county assessor.
Things to do in Washington
Five Points Washington, a performing arts center that opened in 2007, is home to the Heartland Festival Orchestra. The square is the place for shopping, dinner and a glass of wine. Compare nearby East Peoria, Morton and Germantown Hills, or let's talk about Washington.
