Historic Davenport homes
The Hamburg Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983, features century-old Gothic Revival, Second Empire, Italianate, and Queen Anne-style architecture in the core of the neighborhood. In addition to these houses, more recent cottage, bungalow and Foursquare housing add to the diversity of living options in Central Davenport. Homes in need of renovation range from $30,000 to $70,000, whereas turn-key homes cost $100,000 to $250,000 on average. Quad Cities Realtor Alex Skeen said the different styles mean more than just an eclectic streetscape. "In general, the city’s costs of living are going to be lower than the rural areas, because you have a ton more options as far as housing goes,'' he said.

Local parks and Mississippi riverside strolls
Central Davenport is home to five parks, the most popular of which is Cork Hill Park. It features a basketball court, a baseball diamond, horseshoe pits, two gazebos and a playground within 6 acres of green space. Residents looking for outdoor recreation not only have access to several neighborhood parks, but also to the Riverfront Trail, a 7-mile-long walking path along the banks of the bending Mississippi River in River Heritage Park. Skeen says, “If you can survive the winter, you can absolutely enjoy the springtime. Once spring hits, everyone’s outside enjoying the weather.” Just outside the neighborhood, and accessible from North Brady Street, the Vander Veer Botanical Gardens is an oasis in the middle of the city. Its Conservatory is a popular indoor stop to see seasonally themed gardens on display all year, and the Grand Allee is a great place for a walk, covering about .9 of a mile across the site's 33 acres.The Davenport Community School District
