    "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"

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.
