Moving to the Quad Cities
Hello everyone,
My name is Jocelyn and I will be moving to the Davenport area with my 5-month old daughter and my husband who is going to Palmer chiropractic school in mid February of this year.
I have to say that I am on stress overload. I live in a small suburb now and I am having the toughest time trying to find a good, SAFE, family neighborhood. I am so nervous about living in Davenport. We don't have enough money or time to fly out there beforehand, so when we call ads about apartments, we're pretty much taking their word for it which is so scary. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations as far as apartments go? I feel like I am the only one making decisions for my family and I just want to cry.
Thank you so much for your time.

Re: Moving to the Quad Cities
Sorry, I cannot offer any specific information about Davenport....but my DH is from Iowa and it does not seem like there are any truly bad places in the state. Everyone there is very friendly and it will not take you much time to really get to know people.
Did the school not make recommendations? Maybe there is a way to get in touch with current students and talk to someone who has already been there a few years?
I just moved to L.A. (talk about being unsure of where to live!) so I can sympathize with the stress of not knowing exactly where to go. But a landlord pays the commission on a realtor....so maybe that would be the way to go (there are realtors who do rentals as well as sales...)
GL!
Be REAL careful of Davenport and Rock Island. Look in Bettendorf in places close to the Interstate, as well as Moline. Moline has some decent places too.
They are some nice loft apartments I think if you like downtown kid of city living - but I don't know how well that would work with a 5 year old.
We were actually looking at Indian Ridge and more recently, the Candlelight Commons. Has anyone heard of them? They seem nice and fairly priced, but I don't know.
Really, this means so much to me! I feel like I've googled every apartment complex known to man. Haha. You guys are awesome!
