This single-floor space makes a strong first impression with its dramatic vaulted ceilings that lend an airy, expansive feel to the interior. The open-concept layout is anchored by a wall of large French doors with transom windows above, flooding the space with abundant natural light and offering views to the outdoors. A ceiling fan with a decorative light fixture hangs centrally, complementing the recessed lighting throughout. The interior is divided into functional zones that flow seamlessly into one another. A casual lounge area features plush seating arranged around a glass-top coffee table atop a textured area rug, ideal for relaxed gatherings. Adjacent to it, a dining area is furnished with a round table and a mix of upholstered chairs, set beneath a wall-mounted flat-screen television. A bar-height counter with tall white chairs creates a third seating option, adding to the social versatility of the space. Color plays a key role in defining the ambiance — a bold teal accent wall near the French doors contrasts with warm sage and neutral tones elsewhere, creating a vibrant yet cohesive atmosphere. The carpeted flooring, layered with area rugs, adds warmth and comfort underfoot. Overall, the space is thoughtfully designed to encourage community interaction in a welcoming and well-lit environment.

Just six minutes south of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus, Savoy is a suburb that offers great access to the college town. But Savoy has its own perks to attract renters seeking apartments. The suburb is slowly growing and working to improve the town year by year. There are currently plans in motion to add more parks and improve traffic infrastructure. Savoy has a low cost of living and the housing is affordable. The schools are good as well, luring in families looking to raise children in a small town. Conveniently, Savoy has a direct connection to several metropolitan areas through three local Interstate highways. The town has Willard Airport on the southern edge of town for locals who like to travel.
Savoy has all the entertainment of a classic American small town. Indulge in nostalgia at Old Orchard Lanes and Links, an old-school style bowling alley with mini golf, or Skateland roller rink. Catch a 3D movie at GQT Savoy 16 or sing you heart out at Star Karaoke.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
