Blackhawk
Suburban Neighborhood in Rock Island, Illinois
Rock Island County 61201
Nestled between the Mississippi River and the Rock River, the city of Rock Island is a historical staple of the quad cities’ region in Western Illinois.
On the south side of Rock Island, the neighborhood of Blackhawk is a quiet residential area with local access to history, nature and community. Within the comfort of one’s own neighborhood, locals can check out spots like Black Hawk Forest, as well as restaurants along Rock River. Additionally, activities throughout Rock Island are easily accessible to locals.
Ranch homes and colonials are most common within Blackhawk’s housing market. Featuring picturesque lawns and lush tree cover, residents enjoy an affordable suburban feel, with the median listing price in Blackhawk being $122,400, with additional properties listed for below $100,000.
Students in the Blackhawk neighborhood benefit from some of Rock Island’s best public schools. For elementary education, both Earl H Hanson Elementary and Eugene Field Elementary receive some of the highest public school ratings in the area and are recognized in the state for allowing students to exceed expectations. Later, middle school students may attend either Washington Junior High School or Edison Junior High School, while Rock Island High School serves students towards the end of their standard education career.
Central to the neighborhood’s namesake, as well as Rock Island’s historical background is Black Hawk State Historic Site. Featuring a beautiful park with access to trails and photo opportunities, the site was the principal village of the indigenous Sauk nation and was known as one of the most heavily developed regions prior to United States expansion. Today, statues of historical figures, as well as walking trails through significant areas of the land offer visitors the opportunity to learn all about the region’s Native American history.
While Black Hawk Forest is popular for its expansive network of trails, residents in other areas of the neighborhood frequent parks such as Hodge Park and Longview Park, each providing their own outdoor green spaces, as well as pavilion spaces for residents to congregate as a community.
Restaurants are just around the corner in Blackhawk. Along Rock River on the neighborhood’s southern end, Riverfront Grille offers a highly rated spot complete with options for breakfast, lunch and dinner in an indoor/outdoor setting with a riverfront patio. Just down the street, Pizza & Subs is a popular Italian spot known for its unique collection of calzones and top-notch service. Additionally, Arthur’s Garden Delicatessen features subs, pastas and salads in an authentic deli setting.
For whenever you and your friends want to sharpen your skills at the golf course, Saukie Golf Course is available within minutes of the neighborhood. Enjoy a relaxing day on the course under the shade of the region’s thick deciduous trees and take in the bright green hues of the course.
Within the quiet community of Blackhawk, locals appreciate access to everyday suburban amenities right alongside the Rock River.

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.
