Suburban Neighborhood in Davenport, Iowa
Scott County 52802, 52803, 52804
Sandwiched between downtown and Vander Veer Botanical Park, Central Davenport combines the spacious feel of the city’s north side, urban attractions and a slice of riverside views. Across it all, though, vintage homes line quiet streets, delivering on a promise of convenience and culture.
The Hamburg Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983, features century-old Gothic Revival, Second Empire, Italianate, and Queen Anne-style architecture in the core of the neighborhood. In addition to these houses, more recent cottage, bungalow and Foursquare housing add to the diversity of living options in Central Davenport. Homes in need of renovation range from $30,000 to $70,000, whereas turn-key homes cost $100,000 to $250,000 on average. Quad Cities Realtor Alex Skeen said the different styles mean more than just an eclectic streetscape. "In general, the city’s costs of living are going to be lower than the rural areas, because you have a ton more options as far as housing goes,'' he said.
This part of the city offers residents a variety of shopping and dining options nearly on par with downtown. Bars, cafes and restaurants offering tasty eats are dotted throughout Central Davenport, such as Miss Phay Café, which serves Thai and Vietnamese fare in a casual atmosphere with an exposed brick interior. Another popular spot is The Brewed Book, a used bookstore and coffee shop with a chic interior and highly rated coffee, pastries and Italian sodas. For groceries, there’s an Aldi supermarket on North Brady Street. For shopping, the NorthPark Mall is located about 3 miles north of Central Davenport.
Central Davenport is home to five parks, the most popular of which is Cork Hill Park. It features a basketball court, a baseball diamond, horseshoe pits, two gazebos and a playground within 6 acres of green space. Residents looking for outdoor recreation not only have access to several neighborhood parks, but also to the Riverfront Trail, a 7-mile-long walking path along the banks of the bending Mississippi River in River Heritage Park. Skeen says, “If you can survive the winter, you can absolutely enjoy the springtime. Once spring hits, everyone’s outside enjoying the weather.” Just outside the neighborhood, and accessible from North Brady Street, the Vander Veer Botanical Gardens is an oasis in the middle of the city. Its Conservatory is a popular indoor stop to see seasonally themed gardens on display all year, and the Grand Allee is a great place for a walk, covering about .9 of a mile across the site's 33 acres.
The Davenport Community School District serves the residents of Central Davenport. Students can begin their education at Jefferson Elementary School and Sudlow Intermediate School, both of which scored a C on Niche. Students can continue their education at Central High School, which received a B-minus on the site. Central High also offers a college prep and job shadowing program. St. Ambrose University borders the neighborhood to the north.
Central Davenport’s location provides easy access to Downtown Davenport, which borders the neighborhood to the south. U.S. Route 61 bisects the community, connecting it with the other three Quad Cities. Public transportation is available through Citibus, which serves several bus stops along Harrison Street, Gaines Street, North Main Street and Pershing Avenue. For long-distance travel, the Quad Cities International Airport is about 12 miles southeast of Central Davenport.
