Eldridge is a growing area

Eldridge, Iowa is a city full of opportunity for those who call this place home. Its very active chamber of commerce assists local small businesses in getting up and running. Newly built homes in the area are making way for new residents and growing families to set up shop and get in on the action taking place in Eldridge. As its motto states, Eldridge is a hometown with a vision, and that vision is focused on the future.

New homes join century-old Elkridge properties

A mix of old and new homes populate the streets of Eldridge, with older homes situated in the center of the community and newer homes popping up in cul-de-sacs surrounding it. Historic homes closest to downtown date back nearly 100 years, featuring front bay windows and side porches. Large Craftsman-style and colonial houses can be found around parks and schools, displaying attached garages, shuttered windows and dormers. Newer, more spacious ranch styles show brick and stone façades with multiple attached garages, each with its own driveway, and much more expansive estates can be found along the outskirts of the community. Depending on size and location, new builds range from the $300,000s to the $700,000s, with most in the $300,000s and $400,000s. Older homes are generally priced in the $200,000s and $300,000s.

North Scott District is highly rated

Served by the North Scott Community School District, students in Eldridge can attend Edward White Elementary School and North Scott Junior High School to prepare for North Scott High School. Focusing on fine arts, the school regularly has students attend and perform at the International Thespian Festival yearly. “Eldridge is the center of a larger community, and that makes our school district comprised of several smaller towns since Iowa is mainly a farmland,” says Heather Khoury, Member Engagement Coordinator for the Eldridge-North Scott Chamber of Commerce. “That makes Eldridge the cornerstone of the community, and we take that seriously.” North Scott High has an overall Niche grade of B-plus, while Edward White and North Scott Junior High have an A-minus.

Little Free Libraries lead to outdoor reading

For a little outdoor fun, Elmegreen Park features a playground with a rubber surface for little ones to enjoy. The park also has sheltered picnic areas for get-togethers and a Little Free Library for community use. Covering about 2 acres of green space, Centennial Park is a great location for getting some steps in. Locals can also visit the park for a baseball game.

U.S. Route 61 makes the connection

U.S. Route 61 runs directly through the city, connecting to Interstate 80 and Interstate 74. Frequent fliers would be happy to know that the Davenport Municipal Airport is located just outside the city near the Davenport Soccer Complex. “A lot of people may not realize this, but we’re in a very convenient location for residents,” says Khoury. “I can get from here to the Chicago suburbs in less than two-and-a-half hours.”

Maloney’s Pub hosts themed nights

Residents stop by the local Hy-Vee Grocery Store for groceries and everyday essentials. At Gyro 600, sizeable portions of Mediterranean and American dishes are served, while Maloney’s Pub is the gathering spot to meet up with friends for dinner and drinks. Themed nights like Taco Tuesday, Wing & Whiskey Wednesday and the Friday Feature keep the excitement going when dinner is done by Maloney’s. Residents enjoy trips to 2 Sisters Resale ‘n Gifts to find vintage clothing or read from their stacks of books.

The Moonlight Chase lights up the night

The Eldridge-North Scott Chamber of Commerce sponsors several events that Eldridge residents can enjoy throughout each year. Residents look forward to the Eldridge Summer Festival, which has plenty of games and activities for the entire family to enjoy. The festival’s Moonlight Chase is a highlight, with the 4-mile course lit up with lights. “There’s live music along the race and everyone gets decked out with glowsticks and fun things like that,” says Khoury. “There are always people who grew up here and moved away, but they come back for the race every year.” In the fall, locals line up for tastings at the city’s Brew Up Wine Down Oktoberfest event, and the Hometown Holiday celebration is always a good time.

The Chamber of Commerce maintains the area

Residents of Eldridge are encouraged to join the Eldridge-North Scott Chamber of Commerce. With the area full of business opportunities and beyond, the Chamber ensures that every resident and family feel right at home. Membership also comes with a few perks, including regular networking opportunities, an annual golf outing, a holiday mixer, an auction night and a member appreciation lunch.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I am only a highschool student so I can't really say much about housing. I can say that the schools are pretty good and the job opportunities are great as well. I work at the local grocers and it's a decent job.

It is a very nice area. There are multiple parks around and the area always looks nice. The people I have met there are generally kind and considerate of others. I wish it would stop getting bigger because the town is invading the farming area.

Currently Im a senior attending North Scott High School in Eldridge Iowa. I personally have positive thoughts about my school. They have given me many opportunities to succeed in the present and helped prepare me for what's outside of high school. A big thing for me is safety and I can say I feel very safe in Eldridge. To add to that we have a low crime rate. Another thing that I love about Eldridge is the community. It's truly one of the best communities. There are so many acts of service and kindness found in this town. We are friendly to out neighbors and help each other out. That's what makes our community so great. However, I do feel that we don't have enough diversity. This is something that I don't like about my town. I'm hopeful that in the future Eldridges diversity will expand.

As a teenager, it is easy to find part time jobs while I am in school. For adults they would probably have to go out of town.
