About this area
About Davenport
With an astounding supply of technology jobs and a rapidly growing population, there’s no doubt that Davenport, IA is a dynamic place to live, work and play. There are many reasons to move to this city—and not just because of the real estate—there are community art centers, history and science exhibits, beautiful river views, a thriving downtown district, and a business-friendly community.
Located along the banks of the Mississippi River, Davenport is a vibrant and progressive community, fondly referred to as “The Most Livable Small City in America.” The city focuses on development and revitalization throughout the community while still preserving its unique character and history. Davenport is the largest of the Quad Cities and the third-largest city in Iowa.
Davenport’s downtown area hugs LeClaire Park which offers access to riverfront biking, walking trails, and amazing river views. It is lively, active, and eclectic in this area and popular among young professionals and those who are looking for variety. Historic buildings line the streets and some even provide housing. Urban living in loft apartments, plenty of diverse restaurants, pubs, off-the-wall shops, and entertainment are just about everywhere that you look.
If you head a bit further east, you’ll land at the Village of East Davenport—a historic, 6-square block of shopping and entertainment. This district is a great way to spend the afternoon or the evening with boutiques, restaurants, and pubs.
To experience the residential side of this exciting city, head further east to McClellan Heights. Wind your way through hilly streets and take in the unique architecture of each of the stunning homes in the area before making your way to the Gold Coast & Hamburg District to take in even bigger historic homes that were built by some of the very first settlers to what is now known as the Quad Cities. Current residents have even taken it upon themselves to restore these once-grand buildings to their former glory.
All in all, Davenport is one of the best places to live and grow a family. It’s perfect for young professionals as well. Because it is so diverse and continually expanding, there are opportunities for all left and right. With over 30 buildings and schools like Rivermont Collegiate, the Creative Arts Academy, four different high schools and over 15+ elementary schools within close proximity, no matter where you live, you will enjoy a short commute.
