Canton

• Town in Illinois
• Rating 3.38 out of 5  29 reviews

Current Resident: I love this quiet, safe, and historical little town. A place where everybody knows someone in your family. The schools are great, housing is affordable, and the food is fresh. This country town serves you with a simple 'hello' and a friendly smile. It is a small community full of hard working farmers, inventors, and adventurers. The hospital in Canton, IL is small, but the quality of care is excellent. I guess you could say that this town is the perfect location to raise your kids.

Young Hickory Township

• Town in Illinois
• Rating 4 out of 5  4 reviews

Niche User: I think that the area is a very nice place to live. It is very rural so others might not agree, it also has some areas that are poorer than others. You do have to drive about 20 minutes for the closest Walmart, McDonalds, and grocery store, so that is a disadvantage. There are local restaurants that are very good and as close as a few miles. The area is very safe for children and mostly everyone in the community is kind and neighborly. I would definitely choose to live here again. Compared to the rest of the country the area is very quiet.

Cuba

• Town in Illinois
• Rating 4.5 out of 5  2 reviews

Current Resident: Nice little historical town. Affordable homes, low taxes and good schools. Very quiet and No Crime! Very scenic with farms, rivers and wildlife everywhere around you. The younger generation must step up to make our little town the Great town it once was. Beautiful historical buildings in the quaint downtown area that with a few new shops or businesses this area would be booming again. Nice area to settle in for families or to retire. Limitless outdoor activities all around Us. Most people that live in Cuba Illinois Love Cuba and never leave... A reliable car is a must as you must travel for your necessities.
