A Midwestern village on the river

Location Commutes Family-Friendly Riverfront Airport

If you’re looking for that classic Midwestern atmosphere, complete with attractive neighborhoods set along quiet streets and a convenient commute time, the village of Milan may be the answer. This cozy riverfront village borders the Quad Cities of Rock Island, Moline, and East Moline in Illinois and Davenport and Bettendorf in neighboring Iowa. Because of this great location, Milan is just four miles southwest of Downtown Moline and less than five miles from Downtown Davenport – meaning you can access both cities in under 10 minutes. The village also borders Quad City International Airport, located on the northeast side, making it a convenient location for frequent flyers.

Milan is located along the Rock River and close to the Mississippi River. Most of the businesses, shops, and restaurants are located along 1st Street and 10th Avenue. The John Deere Milan Parts Distribution Center, one of the world’s largest warehouses, is located off Rock Island-Milan Parkway. Milan is very family-friendly, providing good schools and several parks. The Dickson Park-Milan Sprayground is a popular summertime destination. Other great nearby destinations include Black Hawk Forest, Credit Island Park, and Highland Springs Golf Course.
