Suburban Neighborhood in Davenport, Iowa
Scott County 52801
Nicknamed “Iowa’s Front Porch,” Davenport sits along the Mississippi River and at the gateway to the “Prairie State” of Illinois. With waterfront access, residents also enjoy the landscape's natural beauty while being in the heart of Iowa’s third-largest city. Downtown Davenport is home to an abundance of restaurants and shops, as well as museums and parks featuring popular local events.
Along with its riverside views, Downtown Davenport is most famous for its vibrant shopping and dining scene. Residents can enjoy pub fare from the Barrel House bar and grill, which features an exposed red brick interior with a low-key feel. For a more upscale dining experience, the Duck City Bistro provides an eclectic fusion of international and regional fare with a comfortable yet classy candle-lit atmosphere. Open year-round, the Freight House Farmers' Market provides groceries and artisanal goods. For apparel, Abernathy's features vintage clothing along with gifts and unique décor.
Downtown’s location along the Mississippi River plays a major role in its appeal, both in scenic beauty and in the number of events held at the riverside parks. Realtor Alex Skeen of eXp Realty says, “The center of downtown is a great place to go to bars and restaurants, but there’s quite a bit to do along the river as well. The Bandshell has a lot of different concerts, and the ‘Red, White, and Boom’ fireworks on the Fourth of July happen here.” LeClaire Park is home not only to the Bandshell music pavilion but also to a fountain monument and a scenic waterfront walk. Skeen adds, “There’s also an enormous amount of green space to sit with family and friends, and, even if there’s not an event going on, you can come down and walk along the river.” This vast stretch of greenery includes the 250-acre Centennial Park, which hosts grand gazebos, athletic courts, and dog and skate parks for outdoor recreation. The park also provides trail access for hikers and bikers alike. Right next door is Modern Woodmen Park, a historic baseball stadium that hosts minor league games. For fun indoors, locals can catch a show at the historic Adler Theater. Skeen says, “It’s a great place where they have a bunch of live shows, like when comedians come into town, as well as smaller music concerts. It’s a historic place as well; it’s been around for as long as downtown Davenport has been here.” The Figge Art Museum, founded in 1928, serves as the Quad Cities region’s main art museum, housing a vast collection of Haitian, Colonial Mexican, and Midwestern art pieces.
Homes dot along a gridded landscape characterized by broad, multi-lane roads in the heart of the city. Though most residences do not have garages or driveways, street parking is plentiful. Homes feature short front stoops and colonial revival architecture. As a primarily commercial district, Downtown’s housing inventory is limited yet competitive. Though rental property is more common, homes on the market tend to sell for between $400,000 and $500,000.
The Davenport Community School District serves the residents of Downtown Davenport. Students can begin their education at Jefferson Elementary School and Frank L. Smart Intermediate School, both of which received a C from Niche. Students can finish their education at Central High School, which scored a B-minus on the site. Central High features a job shadowing program, which allows juniors and seniors to get on-the-job experience within a range of different fields.
Served by Citibus Transit, Downtown Davenport features a robust public transportation system with a web of bus routes connecting the neighborhood to all of Davenport. Commuters can catch buses from venues such as Union Station to travel throughout the city. For longer-distance travel, the Davenport Municipal Airport is 8 miles north of Downtown Davenport. For international trips, Quad Cities International Airport is just 10 miles southeast.
Downtown Davenport has a CAP Index Crime Score of 7 out of 10, which is higher than the national average of 4.
