Rock Island offers urban, suburban and rural housing alternatives in a variety of price ranges to fit any family's budget. Whether it's downtown lofts or spacious wooded acres, Rock Island has housing to attract anyone. Some of Rock Island's biggest assets are its neighborhoods. More than any other city in the area, Rock Island neighborhoods have created a warm, welcoming place for people to call home.

Historic homes ready to move in or renovate.
Many neighborhoods in Rock Island feature grand homes dating to the 1850s. These elegant structures were custom-built for and by the community's wealthiest citizens. Even the simplest homes were built of the era's finest quality materials - American lumber, stained glass, solid brass fixtures, and gas and electric lighting fixtures of etched glass. These homes were constructed with expert craftsmanship and attention to detail from the foundation to the rooftop. It's why the neighborhoods that surround downtown are remarkably intact. Many other historical neighborhoods are continuing to undergo extensive renovations. Over the past twenty years, much has been done to remove veneers of siding to reveal wonderful details and restore the quality that makes these neighborhoods some of the best historical areas in the Quad Cities.

Established neighborhoods for every lifestyle.
If a strong sense of belonging is important to you, then Rock Island has much to offer. It’s the kind of place where people stop and talk when they go for walks in the neighborhood. It’s where children play in backyards and along tree-lined streets. And the people next door are more than your neighbors, they are also your friends. Small bungalows to spacious family homes are available to fit your needs.

Wooded retreats with relaxing views.
The Mississippi River valley is known for its rich farmland, but Rock Island also enjoys a wealth of wooded areas and old growth trees. Sit back and enjoy the view, hear the birds sing, and relax in your own private sanctuary. You’ll find almost every type of home nestled in amongst the trees – and some homes remain hidden until fall. 

Loft living in the vibrant downtown District.
Take a long-standing brick building with lots of character and charm. Add a healthy dose of contemporary styling - and you’ve got a great place to live in downtown Rock Island. Loft living puts you right in the center of artists' galleries and studios, restaurants, a brew pub, coffee shops, nightclubs, comedy club, botanical center, dinner theatre, unique shops, and a hotel. All these attractions are just steps from your front door when you live in the downtown lofts of Rock Island.
