Belleville Overview

Belleville, IL is a medium-sized city located in Southern Illinois. The nearest big city isn’t Chicago, but rather St. Louis, Missouri, which is only a 30-minute drive away. Many people commute to work there, but love the small town feel of Belleville that’s been around since 1814. A historically beautiful city that is the perfect spot to find your ideal Belleville apartments. 

What is the history of Belleville?

Founded in 1814, Belleville was named by George Blair who basically created the center of town by donating some of his land. The reason that Mr. Blair named it “Belleville” is because the word means “beautiful city” in French. It became an official city in 1850. 

How is the weather in Belleville?

The weather around all Belleville apartments is typically very seasonal following the weather trends of any Midwestern city. The summers are hot and humid, while the fall brings cooler temperatures when the leaves change. You can expect snowy conditions from November to March each year. 

How do I get around town?

It’s best to have a car to get around, especially if you plan on commuting to St. Louis for work from one of the beautiful Belleville apartments. As part of St. Clair County, there is a public transit system that includes a MetroBus and MetroLink trains. It's fairly inexpensive to ride and you can even bring your bike on board. The nearest airport, the MidAmerica St. Louis Airport, is only 14 miles away from Belleville. 

What is the Belleville commute like?

The traffic situation going into St. Louis isn’t that bad. The drive itself is only 30 minutes without traffic. There are two different main routes to take, including 161 W or 15 W. Getting around Belleville itself isn’t hard considering that all the major Illinois state highways run through it. 

What are the local media outlets?

All of the news stations, including ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX all broadcast out of St. Louis so residents can get local and national news. There are 40 radio stations that get picked up in Belleville near all of the Belleville apartments for music in practically any genre from pop to country, and everything in between. The local newspaper is the Belleville News Democrat, which comes out daily. 

Why live in Belleville, IL?

There are many reasons to choose a lifestyle in Belleville, IL. With a population of around 44,000, this city is attractive to families and singles alike. There are many recreational bike trails around town that are fun to explore. The overall vibe is small town, but with big city appeal since St. Louis is so close by. The town also has lots of events year round that center near their historic district. A feeling of community and goodwill is evident in the residents who live here. It's truly a great place to raise a family with schools that are top-notch. 

What Belleville landmarks should I see?

All of these are on the National Historic Registry. The closest university is St. Louis University, a private four-year institution. 

What is there to do around Belleville?

For residents in Belleville apartments, there are many entertaining things to do around the city. There is a brewery, bowling alley, the Belle Clair Speedway which has car racing, an orchard for apple picking in the fall, and even a Christmas marketplace that brings some tourists to town in December. The downtown area is also fun to walk around to shop and visit local restaurants. 

Any annual festivals or Belleville events to know?

Each year the town celebrates many occasions, including an annual St. Patrick’s Day parade, Labor Day parade, Memorial Day parade, an Ale Fest in April, an OktoberFest, a Wine and Jazz Festival, and Chili Cook Off in September. You can also enjoy their Art on the Square festival that was recently named the best art festival in America by Art Fair Sourcebook. 

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Belleville is about four hours and 40 minutes from Chicago. That’s a great place to go visit one of the best big cities in the world. For shorter trips many people like to go to the capital of Illinois, Springfield to see the historic sites of the city that’s only 90 minutes away. For something to do in nature, try the Meramec Caverns, which are located in Missouri about two hours away. 

Where is the best place to move in Belleville?

The best of Belleville apartments are located in Northern Belleville, near the I 64 freeway. That’s probably due to the fact that most people commute to St. Louis to work. There are many luxury style apartments available in great price ranges. Some have amenities such as fitness centers and swimming pools, are perfect for families with two and three bedroom options, and will make you feel right at home.
