Danville, IL Apartments for Rent

Danville, Illinois combines affordability with a rich historical heritage in eastern Illinois. Located approximately 120 miles south of Chicago and 90 miles west of Indianapolis, Danville provides access to major cities while offering significantly lower living costs. The city's connection to Abraham Lincoln, who practiced law in the area, lives on through the Vermilion County Museum and other historical landmarks.

Danville's extensive park system contributes to Vermilion County's 15,000 acres of public parkland—the highest per capita in Illinois. Lake Vermilion offers boating and fishing opportunities, while the Vermilion River adds to the area's outdoor recreation options. With one-bedroom apartment rents averaging $784 (compared to the state average of $1,633), residents can enjoy local attractions like the restored Fischer Theatre and shopping along Route 1. The area features healthcare facilities and easy access to multiple highways, making it convenient for both local living and regional travel.

Why Danville?
