Aviston is a small town with a big heart. Located approximately 35 miles directly east of St. Louis, it is on the eastern side of the St. Louis metropolitan area (Metro-east).   Aviston's small town charm and values are centered between the excitement of St. Louis and the outdoors of Carlyle Lake.  Aviston is a growing community that has a population of approximately 1,300 people.  The 2000 census showed Aviston grew 33% from the 1990 census and the 2010 census will show even more growth.  The village offers an Illinois Bright A+ school system, spacious park, great business  TIF programs, and various luxuries that prove it will continue to grow with the future.  Residents of Aviston take great pride in their community and this is proven by the numerous volunteer organizations. 
      Although
Aviston is not directly on a major interstate highway, several major highways are nearby: I-64 to the south, I-70 to the north, I-57 to the east, I-55 to the west,  and New US Rt. 50 runs through the heart of Aviston.  Aviston's growth, kindness, and location make it a great place for business and living.
