Marine offers a small-town pace with quick connections to the Metro East. Set amid rolling farmland in Madison County, this village sits a short drive from Edwardsville, Highland, and Troy, and within commuting reach of St. Louis. Tree-lined residential blocks, a historic main street, and year-round community events create an easygoing lifestyle.
Families appreciate that Marine is served by Triad Community Unit School District 2, with neighborhood-sized classrooms at Marine Elementary and a full slate of academics, arts, and athletics through the district’s middle and high schools. Explore programs and calendars at Triad CUSD 2, and find nearby higher education at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
Getting outside is easy. Madison County Transit’s MCT Trails network runs nearby, giving cyclists and runners an off-street route to regional destinations. Weekend plans often include fishing, paddling, and picnic time at Highland’s Silver Lake Park, while history buffs have the World Heritage-listed Cahokia Mounds within easy reach. Frequent travelers value quick access to interstates and St. Louis Lambert International Airport. Housing spans century-old farmhouses and newer construction on spacious lots.
