South Roxana Reviews
Rating 2 out of 5 2 reviews
A nice little town in the shadow of the wood river refinery. The health risks that come with living next to the refinery also decrease the property value.
I lived in South Roxana for 15 years and couldn’t get out fast enough. If you are inclined to enjoy meth, have an affinity for trash cars (specifically parked in front lawns) and consider boarded windows and 10ft chain link fences great decor… then this is the place for you! Not to mention that the water table is contaminated from the refinery, but that will be the least of your problems.
