Homestead 1600 N 17th St - 1

Anchored by a friendly downtown and the Cedarhurst Center for the Arts, Mount Vernon’s 62864 blends small-town warmth with easy living at the crossroads of I-57 and I-64. Expect four distinct seasons—warm, humid summers and crisp winters—and a laid-back, family- and pet-friendly pace near green spaces like Veterans Memorial Park, the Aquatic Zoo water park, and weekend escapes to nearby Rend Lake for fishing, trails, and boating. Daily errands are simple with Walmart, Kroger, and ALDI close by; caffeine and bites come from local cafes plus Dunkin’ and Starbucks, while The Rare Chop House and classic diners anchor a comfort-forward dining scene. Fitness is convenient at Planet Fitness and city rec facilities, and regional hospitals add a steady professional presence. Per Zillow’s Market Trends over the past few months, the median asking rent sits around the mid-$900s, with most listings roughly $700–$1,300 depending on size and updates.
