A Premier City at the edge of the Mississippi River
Along a bend of the Mississippi River at the northeastern corner of the Midwest’s “Quad Cities” region, Bettendorf, Iowa – which calls itself “a Premier City” – has a long and unique history reflected in its diversity of housing styles, its many landmarks, and even its well-established casino industry. In recent years, downtown Bettendorf has experienced a revival with the conversion of Grant Street into a two-way street due to its proximity to the new Interstate 74 bridge over the Mississippi River. This commercial corridor, now connected to the other regional hub of Moline by bridge, is the beating heart of this rising city. Realtor Alex Skeen of eXp Realty says, “Bettendorf is an up-and-coming city, and many people want to come here because of that,” says Realtor Alex Skeen of eXp Realty. “We’re getting a lot of new housing development, so if you’re looking for new builds, look at Bettendorf as an option.” Along with the expansion of housing, Bettendorf’s riverside downtown area features every amenity, from shops and schools to parks and parkways.
