Why Live in Mount Vernon

Mount Vernon, located in South Central Illinois at the intersection of Interstates 64 and 57, offers a blend of historical significance and modern conveniences. With a population of about 15,000, the city is named after George Washington’s plantation. The SSM Health Good Samaritan Hospital provides local medical services, eliminating the need for trips to Springfield or St. Louis, which are 140 miles and 80 miles away, respectively. Major employers include Continental Tire and Walgreens. The 5th District Appellate Court building, constructed in the 1850s and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, adds historical charm, with Abraham Lincoln having argued cases there. The Jefferson County Historical Village, open on weekends from May through October, offers insights into 1800s life. Housing is affordable, with most homes built in the 20th century and prices below the national average. Bungalow-style houses are common, along with some condos and multifamily units. Residents feel safe due to strong community-police rapport. Downtown Mount Vernon features refurbished buildings like the historic Granada Theatre, hosting events, and a variety of shops and restaurants along Broadway Street. Veterans Memorial Park includes a memorial, walking paths, sports facilities, and the Aquatic Zoo water park with slides and a lazy river. Summersville Grade School, a K-8 school, is highly rated.
