About Hudson
Located just five miles north of Normal, Hudson gives residents a quiet small-town feel right next to the Bloomington-Normal area. With around 1,800 people, the village is known for its spacious yards and unusually wide, tree-lined streets that date back to its early days. It is an easy pick for people who want a peaceful neighborhood while staying close to the schools, employers, and shopping in town.
Interstate 39 runs along the western edge of the community, making daily commutes into Normal or trips across central Illinois quick and straightforward. For weekend outings, Lake Bloomington and Evergreen Lake are just minutes up the road for boating, fishing, and hiking. The village also holds on to its heritage, including the preserved boyhood home of Arts and Crafts pioneer Elbert Hubbard.
