Top 5 Reasons to Live and Work in Southern Illinois

If you want a solid nursing career without paying “big-city prices” for the privilege of sitting in traffic, the Southern Illinois region is a strong pick. Here are five practical reasons people relocate here for work and lifestyle.

1. Cost of living that lets you keep your money; not just look at it. Local housing costs are notably manageable versus many parts of Illinois and the U.S.; the U.S. Census Bureau reports a median owner-occupied home value around $118,400 and median gross rent around $862 (2019–2023 estimates).
2. Commutes are shorter; your post-shift decompression can start before bedtime. The U.S. Census Bureau reports a mean travel time to work of about 19.7 minutes (2019–2023 estimates); that’s more “have dinner at home” and less “live on the highway.”
3. Outdoor therapy is close by and it’s not just a ditch with a walking path. Southern Illinois is home to Shawnee National Forest, known for scenic bluffs, river corridors, wetlands, and varied trails; it’s an easy weekend reset when you need nature more than Netflix.
4. Culture and food are surprisingly fun for a smaller region. The area is known for festivals, local events, and the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail; meaning your days off can include concerts, tastings, and road-trip-friendly stops without needing a four-day vacation request.
5. Travel access is genuinely convenient for visiting family and doing real getaways. The region benefits from major interstate connections (including ongoing improvements at the I-57/I-64 interchange), plus nearby passenger rail options and regional air travel access; handy for quick trips to larger hubs.
