Town in Illinois
Current Resident: I live in Byron and have never had any issues with where I live. I would like to see more options for food/restaurants in the area other than bars. There are many things to do while the weather is nice, but once it gets cold, there are not as many things to do for the whole family. It is a very family oriented town that everyone, young or old, can do something. The crime is very low, if any at all. The schools are amazing and one of the best in the states. I am very pleased so far with my kids's experiences within the school district.... Read 11 reviews

Current Resident: I appreciate receiving the opportunity to grow up in a small town. Everyone knows you and you know everyone, however small towns refuse to change their ways. That is why I would love to see new families join the community bringing in their own ideas from their towns. Given the opportunity, I would be joyful to learn the ways of others at college and be able to come back to my hometown and introduce new ideas and beliefs to others. I know my small town is capable of big things, but it all starts with creating a more diverse community. The best way to introduce new ideas is by bringing diverse backgrounds so children can grow up learning the ways of other diversities. That will help them as they grow up, to be accepting of all people regardless of their: race, religion, or background. Overall, Stillman Valley is your typical small town in the Midwest, people are always there to support you and the community is a big family and I wouldn't trade my experience here for anything....

Current Resident: I've lived in Davis Junction since I was 3 years old; seems like it has always been home. Small town, big heart. I do wish there were a few more conveniences, but keeping the small town feel; it is nice there are only a few. We have all we need and not much else. Neighboring towns provide a little more convenience, but you will travel through the corn to get there. Love the country life.... Read 6 reviews

Current Resident: Mt. Morris, is honestly one of the best small towns in Illinois. This town is not like most, here it is safe, quite, and friendly. Being such a small town, the people here are super friendly. Everyone knows each other and there is a strong sense of friendliness. At the same time it is quite unlike a bustling city. As well as not being a city but a small town the crime is very low. There is hardly no minor or major crimes being committed within the community. Although, I wish there would be more of a downtown life such as more local shops opening and communal activities. Overall, Mt. Morris is a lovely place to not only live in but also visit....

Niche User: This small town of Byron has almost no crime. There is the occasional speeding ticket and marijuana find but never anything dangerous to the area. It's a very quiet and safe town in which everyone feels very comfortable and safe. Anyone can walk around freely without fear because the police force is large for such a small town and they are very quick to act if the need comes. I have lived hear my whole life and feel safe enough to be able to walk around any part of the town freely as I wish on my own. Yes it is that safe that I can walk by myself anywhere!...

Current Resident: I like the people in Marion because they are really nice and genuine. The town is really rural/suburban and the weather is beautiful. In this area of Illinois you would experience all four seasons. There are are a lot of things to do if one gets involved in their community. There is great local shopping and major cities are any where from 45 minutes to 4 hours away in every direction. The college life here is really good. Many students travel to here from all over the world and attend local colleges. Marion is at the southern tip of Illinois and it is growing rapidly by population and in new business growth. Marion is also home to the Southern Illinois Miners Minor League Baseball team. Marion has 5 or more parks for recreation, as well as, other big business soon to come.... Read 2 reviews

Nearby Resident: We've lived in this area for about six years, and have mostly enjoyed our experience. We lived in Oregon-proper for a year and a half, and liked it. The town is decent for walking safely, though walking trails near the river would be nice (there are lots in the parks, though, of which there are many). There are several festivals during the year, lots of stuff going on in the summers, a decent small town farmers market, and a very active and mostly affordable and sometimes free park district. It's also really nice that we're less than an hour drive from a couple of bigger towns and cities, and only two hours from downtown Chicago. My only real complaints living here are that it's very hard to find full time unskilled work, and it's much more expensive to rent than to own a home.... Read 1 review
