Danville is a wonderful place to live! I am a happy city resident and home owner who enjoys the low cost of living, the perks of an urban environment (including a wonderful arts community), and all the benefits of rural serenity nearby. We have beautiful rivers, lakes, parks, nature walks, hiking, kayaking, and mountain biking right here within minutes. We also have fun quirky local business to frequent. Thanks to a community who cares and city leadership, officials, and civil servants who do what is best for all of the city's residents, Danville is on the upswing. It only gets better from here!
Danville is a beautiful city, with plenty of recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you prefer hiking, biking, fishing, camping, or boating, Danville can meet your needs.
But what makes Danville a great place to live is the people. As the saying goes, life is what you make it. When you surround yourself with all of the positive things happening in this community, you’ll have a wonderful experience living here.
Get involved. Be active. Take care of yourself. And come see us in Danville!

I grew up in a small community close to Danville, IL, and then moved away to attend college in TN. Following college, I lived in Louisville, KY, Evansville, IN, and Lancaster, OH. I moved back to Danville after being gone for 20 years. I've lived in Danville for 22 years and love this community. I found that people genuinely care, and there is a lot of community pride here. We have challenges, as do most communities; however, people are committed to making Danville a better place, and this is what makes our community great!
There are a lot of wonderful amenities in Danville and Vermilion County, as mentioned in many of the other reviews. One of my favorite activities is the Danville Symphony Orchestra. For a community our size, to have such an incredible orchestra is a rare blessing. Some of my favorite restaurants are in the Danville area, so I don't have to travel far to get an excellent meal with good friends.
