Carterville, IL Homes for Sale & Real Estate

Carterville is a charming small city in Williamson County, Southern Illinois, with a population of around 5,848 as of the 2020 census. Founded in 1871 and named after Laban Carter, who helped establish the area's first commercial coal mine and post office, the community originally thrived as a coal mining town along the railroad corridor, experiencing rapid growth in its early decades. Today, it has evolved into a welcoming residential suburb situated along Route 13 between the larger cities of Carbondale and Marion, offering a relaxed small-town atmosphere with access to nearby urban conveniences. The city boasts a rich heritage preserved through sites like the Carterville Heritage Museum—housed in a beautifully renovated 1924 high school building—and nearby attractions such as Walker's Bluff Casino Resort, its associated winery, and Cannon Park. Known for strong community spirit, excellent schools including Carterville High School, and its position in the scenic "heartland" of Southern Illinois, Carterville continues to grow as a desirable place to live and visit.
