South Roxana offers small-community ease with quick access to regional employers and recreation along the river. Set in Madison County, residents appreciate a practical cost of living, local ballfields and playgrounds, and straightforward commutes via IL‑111 and IL‑255. Outdoor time is easy to plan thanks to the Madison County Transit network; the MCT Trails connect nearby communities and scenic corridors for biking, walking, and run clubs, all supported by Madison County Transit. Weekend explorers head a few minutes west to the National Great Rivers Museum or take in river vistas from the Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower.
Families are served by Roxana Community Unit School District No. 1, with neighborhood elementary options, a focused junior high, and Roxana High School’s strong academics, arts, and athletics. Lifelong learners and professionals benefit from nearby Southern Illinois University Edwardsville for degrees, certifications, and cultural events.
Daily conveniences are close by in Wood River and Alton, from groceries and local diners to specialty shops. For travel, business flyers and hobby pilots alike have a low‑stress option at St. Louis Regional Airport. Whether you’re looking for a first home with room to grow or downsizing while staying near friends and family, South Roxana puts you close to the essentials, the river, and the region’s educational and recreational assets.
