Moultrie County blends small-town ease with room to grow, anchored by the county seat in Sullivan and the close-knit communities of Bethany and Lovington. Daily life moves smoothly here—short commutes, friendly streets, and quick access to larger employers and amenities in Decatur. You’ll find classic Midwestern neighborhoods, acreages with sunrise views, and in-town homes that keep school, shops, and parks within minutes.
Weekends often revolve around water, trails, and curtain calls. Lake Shelbyville’s coves, beaches, boat ramps, and multiuse paths are a major draw for anglers and paddlers, with year-round updates and maps provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Lake Shelbyville’s official resource. In downtown Sullivan, The Little Theatre On The Square brings professional productions to a historic stage, adding cultural spark to dinner-and-a-show evenings and summer camps for kids.
Families value the area’s strong school options. Sullivan CUSD 300 offers robust academics, fine arts, and athletics with a community-first feel. The ALAH system (Arthur CUSD 305) serves Lovington students with expanding career and technical opportunities, while Okaw Valley CUSD 1 supports Bethany with personalized class sizes and active extracurriculars. From seasonal festivals to farmers markets, you’ll find a calendar that stays full without the stress of big-city crowds.
Whether you’re buying a first home, upsizing for more space, or preparing to sell, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with experienced Moultrie County real estate pros who know the market street by street.
