Downtown Rockford lies immediately east along Rock River at the center of the entertaining River District. Apartments for rent dot the community’s eastern side near major streets, enabling easy travel throughout the city. Historic architecture including the William Brown Building of the late 1800s and Coronado, an entertainment facility built in the early 1920s, mingles with government buildings. Locals often meet in Haight Park to run, walk, and bike on its scenic path.
In the spring and summer, residents visit the Rockford City Market, a sales and performance venue for local growers, vendors, and talent. For a relaxed dining experience, enjoy the outdoor patio seating and savor the smoked salmon at Abreo Restaurant, a favorite local stop. Don't miss out on the spinach and mushroom pizzas at Woodfire Brick Oven Pizza, but leave room for the homemade tiramisu.
