Maywood offers a peaceful, country lifestyle with quick access to big conveniences. Set in Lewis County, the community sits minutes from Palmyra and a straight shot down U.S. 61 to Hannibal. Nearby towns like Ewing and La Grange, plus Quincy just across the Mississippi, put shopping, dining, healthcare, and employers within an easy commute while you return home to open skies and room to breathe.
Families appreciate strong local schooling through the Lewis County C-1 School District, home to Highland Elementary and Highland Jr/Sr High in Ewing, with academics, activities, and athletics that anchor community life. Weekend options abound: fish, paddle, or stroll lakeside trails at Wakonda State Park, explore the riverfront and historic attractions in Hannibal, or launch a boat for a sunset cruise from the Mississippi access points near La Grange. Palmyra’s locally owned eateries and services round out daily conveniences without sacrificing that quiet, rural rhythm.
Housing here ranges from classic farmhouses and hobby-farm properties to newer construction on acreage, appealing to anyone who values privacy, elbow room, and starry nights. With regional highways close by, commuting to jobs in Hannibal or Quincy is straightforward, and the cost of living remains refreshingly practical for first-time buyers and move-up homeowners alike.
