    Centered on Jacksonville’s historic downtown square, 62650 blends small-town warmth with college energy from Illinois College and the state schools for the Deaf and the Visually Impaired. Expect a classic four-season Central Illinois climate—humid summers, colorful falls, and occasional snowy winters—and easy highway access via I-72 and US-67. Daily conveniences cluster along Morton Avenue’s retail corridor (Walmart, ALDI, County Market), with local favorites like BrewBaker’s Coffee House, Free Press Coffee, Lonzerotti’s Italia in the old train depot, and comfortable grills and diners. Weekends lean outdoorsy: stroll Nichols and Duncan parks, fish or paddle at Lake Jacksonville, or catch summer festivals and the Morgan County Fair. The vibe is friendly and affordable; recent Zillow Market Trends show a median asking rent around $950, with most rentals ranging roughly $700–$1,300 over the past few months. You’ll find a mix of students, longtime residents, and families, plus pet-friendly green spaces and a steady calendar of community events around the square.
