Sherwood Forest is a north-side pocket of Peoria where mature trees, curving streets, and well-kept mid-century homes create a relaxed residential feel with quick access to the city’s main corridors. Weekend errands and dinner plans are easy, with shopping and dining along Knoxville Avenue and the boutique-lined stretch of Peoria Heights just minutes away. Commuters appreciate straightforward connections across Peoria County, while cul-de-sacs and sidewalks add to the neighborhood’s everyday convenience.
Outdoorsy residents enjoy a steady rotation of close-by green spaces and recreation. Donovan Park’s open meadows, gardens, and community events invite strolls and picnics, and the multi-use Rock Island Greenway links cyclists and joggers to miles of trails across town. When the weather turns cool, the twin rinks at Owens Center provide public skating, hockey, and lessons—all part of the Peoria Park District’s robust programming. Explore more about these amenities at Donovan Park, the Rock Island Greenway, and the Owens Center.
Families are drawn to the strong local school pathway within Peoria Public Schools, including Kellar Primary School, Lindbergh Middle School, and the International Baccalaureate offerings at Richwoods High School—well-regarded for academics, arts, and athletics in the broader Richwoods area.
