Laidback vibes just 15 minutes from most destinations in the Quad Cities
With a neighborly vibe that feels as peaceful as its name sounds, Ginger Hill is an ideal neighborhood for Quad Cities residents looking for a quieter lifestyle. “It’s a really quiet, laid-back neighborhood,” says Garret Upton, a local real estate agent with the Nolting Team at Re/Max Concepts Bettendorf. “It has a small-town feel even though it butts up to everything else in the Quad Cities. Everywhere you want to go is within 15 minutes.” Ginger Hill is south of Interstate 280 in Milan, on the southern edges of the Quad Cities. Residents enjoy the relaxed neighborhood features like mature trees and local parks. Major roads nearby make it easy to get to work or spend a day in the larger cities like Davenport and Rock Island.
Ginger Hill is home to the Milan Little League complex.

Catch a game and a show around Camden Park
Ginger Hill residents have convenient access to multiple public parks. “There’s a Little League field over there, so a lot of people walk over and play pickup games or watch pickup games. It’s pretty close to Camden Park, which is the largest park in town. They do really big fireworks every year, so a lot of people in the neighborhood sit out in their front yard and watch the fireworks,” says Upton. The Little League fields are located on 4th Street and include three different-sized fields for various age groups. Camden Park is just south of Rock Island-Milan Parkway and includes several picnic shelters, playgrounds and softball fields. The park is also home to disc golf courses. Residents interested in a long walk or bike ride can visit the Hennepin Canal State Trail, part of a 104-mile linear park across the state. Locals can access the mixed-use trail on Big Island Road on the north side of Milan. The scenic trail runs alongside the canal and can be used for hiking, biking or running.
