    "I travel a lot my commute is not relevant. However, travel to Peoria from Washington has very little traffic compared to major cities. Travel to major cities can be a problem because the local airports (Peoria and Bloomington) are not hubs and have few options"

    "I’ve olives here for 5 years and have enjoyed it. Hinges are just average, but most everyone I have met has been friendly. I walk my little dachshunds around the neighborhood regularly and people nearly always wave and such. There are a few places to eat within walking distance and a WalMart, Menards an Aldi all within 5 mins drive. The schools are definitely better than PEORIA. I have never had a theft or anything like that."
