Urbana,
IL
61801
Urbana is a college city with a personality all its own, anchored by Big Ten academics and a downtown that rewards walking and biking. The historic core features period lighting, bike racks, sidewalk cafes, and a wide mix of shops, while neighborhoods spread across 12 square miles with tree-lined blocks and easy access to green spaces like Crystal Lake Park and Meadowbrook Park. Downtown Urbana and Campustown, the commercial strip along U.S. Route 150, give residents two distinct hubs for dining, errands, and everyday life.
Renters will find a varied housing stock, from older craftsman-style homes converted into apartments to newer communities with modern layouts, plus townhomes and two-flats scattered throughout residential blocks. The rental market is notably affordable compared to the rest of Illinois, making it a strong fit for a wide range of budgets.

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.
