We are a military family moving soon to the area. My husband will be working at Rock City. All we know is that the base is at the border of Iowa and Il, and trying to find postings of houses for rent its kind of scary houses. My husband likes to spend time with his cars so space its important to us, and a small yard for our chihuahua and wiennie its a must.
Most important than a nice house its he school district, our son its on the elementary school years still..
Moline, Davenport, East Moline or Bettendorf?
Thanks!

The Village of Rock City is a farming community of 315 persons in Stephenson County, Illinois. The nearest military installation appears to be Rock Island Arsenal which is about 100 miles SSW of Rock City. .

Are you sure your husband will be working in Rock City?

No worries. It happens all the time.

All IL K thru 8 kids get a good basic education. What you probably need is 2-3 bd/1.5-2ba, garage and fenced yard. If you live in a city your hubby may not be able to change oil, or tear a car apart. IL has some rather strict laws concerning the environment that may or many not apply. Personally I like Moline; I always have. It's five minutes from RIA (Rock Island Arsenal).

I found a source to help military families find housing: AHRN - The Automated Housing Referral Network

Rock Island has some nice neighborhoods, but I always liked the vibe of Davenport and Bettendorf better.
