Glen Carbon has come far from being a "Valley of Coal," a nickname it earned from the coal mining operations that led to its establishment, to being one of the best 100 small towns in America to live in - as endorsed by "Money Magazine."
Glen Carbon, with its abundant scenery and beautiful community spirit, is one of the fastest growing towns in Illinois. It lies in Madison County and has a population of close to 13,000. St. Louis, Missouri is only 19 miles away. The county capital, Edwardsville, is a 10-minute drive away. Or if you fancy biking it there then hit the biking trail, one of the many in and around the city maintained by Madison County Transit, which also runs a bus service connecting neighboring communities. The natural setting and connectivity make Glen Carbon a great place to search for your next rental home. View Glen Carbon City Guide
