Covell, Barnes, Gillum, Brokaw and Burns sit on Bloomington’s outer edges, where the landscape opens into farmland and the built-up city gives way to a quieter, more rural setting. The area experiences four distinct seasons, with warm summers, cold winters and changeable spring and fall weather. Daily errands generally mean driving into Bloomington or nearby Normal for groceries, coffee, restaurants and shopping, while local roads connect the neighborhoods to larger routes around the region.
