Stensvad District
Vintage homes near downtown
The Stensvad District’s housing is composed primarily of vintage housing such as ranch, colonial, and Craftsman-style homes, with most of these residences being built from the 1940s to 1950s as Bettendorf became an industrial center. The Stensvad District’s residential streets branch off from Central Avenue, and many homes have vast front lawns and sizable driveways. Some streets are shaded by thick foliage, providing shade to residents as they stroll down their block. Homes vary in price from $100,000 to $300,000, with newer construction adding greater diversity to this neighborhood’s home prices and lifestyles.

Direct access to downtown dining
This neighborhood’s location next to downtown Bettendorf puts residents within a few blocks of this city’s growing dining and retail scenes, while the surrounding area is also home to a small selection of local bars, music shops, liquor stores and even a Hardee’s restaurant. Realtor Alex Skeen says of this neighborhood’s nearby amenities, “You have a Hy-Vee grocery store, a great facility to get a lot of vegetables and your general groceries.” This supermarket is easily accessible within a 2.5-mile drive up Devils Glen Road, as is the local AutoZone, Walgreens and several chain restaurants. Skeen adds, “For family entertainment, the Family Museum is a great option for you, while, downtown, you have Stacks Pancake House for breakfast, Yoso for Japanese food, the Riverside Grille and a bunch of different options.” Within the Stensvad District, foodies can visit Teriyaki Madness to try its “Asian fusion” rice and noodle bowls, while Central Avenue Tap offers a relaxing atmosphere with its burgers, beers and lounge environment. Even home maintenance is made easy by 1-mile proximity to a fixture of the community. Skeen says, “If you want to do some home improvement, K&K Hardware is an old standby, with just about everything you can need, plus some. They have a very loyal customer base, and, if you grew up here, you definitely know what K&K is.”

Recreation around the block
The Stensvad District is also home to two parks, Lincoln Park and Sunny Crest Park. Lincoln Park is home to a splash pad for summer cooldowns, as well as to a playground serving this neighborhood’s youths year-round. Sunny Crest Park, located in a grassy lot next to the Parks & Recreation building, has its own playground and picnic shelter, as well as an open field for frolicking and a basketball court for testing your free throw.

A history of industry
The Stensvad District may be named for Ray Stensvad, a former superintendent of schools, whose name was also lent to the local school district’s administration center. This part of town has more in common with the neighboring industrial town of Riverdale than the rest of Bettendorf; factories line the riverfront, just as they did during Bettendorf’s post-World War II industrial boom. Today, the Cargill AG Horizons grain elevator, a U.S. Oil terminal, the Buckeye Terminals wholesaler, the Lincoln Electric Automation manufacturer, and several other industries operate from the section of town south of Highway 67, providing local employment.

"A"-rated education
Bettendorf is known for its outstanding public education; Niche gives the district an “A-minus” rating, while the Stensvad District’s students attend the B-minus-rated Neil Armstrong Elementary School, the A-minus-rated Bettendorf Middle School and the A-minus-rated Bettendorf High School. Bettendorf High has consistently ranked among the top 10 schools for athletes in the state of Iowa, as well as among the top 15 college prep high schools.
