New Memphis offers a quiet country pace with convenient connections in every direction. Set along the crossroads of Illinois Routes 160 and 177, it puts you minutes from everyday essentials in nearby New Baden and the broader job market anchored by Scott Air Force Base. Outdoor time is easy to find, whether you’re casting a line or launching a boat at Carlyle Lake or exploring the bottomland woods and river access at the Kaskaskia River State Fish and Wildlife Area.
Families appreciate solid school options. Depending on your address, students are typically served by Wesclin Community Unit School District 3 or may fall within Mascoutah Community Unit School District 19. Both districts are known for supportive teachers, competitive athletics, and extracurriculars that range from robotics to music, helping students build a well-rounded foundation.
