Blackstone balances the quiet rhythm of farm country with quick connections to the amenities of nearby Streator, Pontiac, and Dwight. Set amid open skies and cornfields in Livingston County, it offers room to spread out, starry-night views, and a friendly, small-community feel, all within an easy drive of shopping, dining, and employers in surrounding towns.
Families appreciate practical school options. Depending on your address, students often attend Dwight Township High School, supported by the district’s academics and activities at Dwight Schools, or pursue programs at Pontiac Township High School. For healthcare, residents look to the modern services at the OSF HealthCare Center for Health – Streator. Weekends bring easy adventures: hike sandstone canyons and watch eagles at Starved Rock State Park or explore waterfalls and forested trails at Matthiessen State Park. Closer to home, cardholders enjoy programs and a handsome historic building at the Streator Public Library, while history buffs make a short trip for exhibits at the Livingston County War Museum.
Whether you’re seeking acreage for a hobby farm, a classic farmhouse, or a low-maintenance place with a big yard, Blackstone delivers value and breathing room with city conveniences nearby.
