Neighborhood

Situated just two miles north of Bloomington and anchored by Illinois State University, Downtown Normal lies within a short drive of all points of interest in the Bloomington metro area. A walk through this safe, compact neighborhood takes you down tree-lined campus paths and past the many apartment buildings that lie scattered around the perimeter of the university.

For fast access to dining and nightlife, look for rentals near the revitalized Uptown area, which serves as the heart of the neighborhood's social life. After cheering on the ISU Redbirds at the Hancock Stadium or attending a concert at the ISU College of Fine Arts, residents head to Uptown to enjoy burgers at the Rock or the special prawns and polenta at Medici.

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.
