QC, That's Where?
A Connection to the World!

The QC is the heart of the Midwest, connected by one of the world’s most renowned rivers, the Mississippi and the regional towns it gave birth to over the centuries.

Five major cities make up the Quad Cities metro: Bettendorf and Davenport Iowa, East Moline, Moline and Rock Island Illinois. The entire QC is a family of communities in a six-county bi-state region: Clinton, Muscatine and Scott Counties in Iowa & Henry, Mercer and Rock Island Counties in Illinois. It's within a 300-mile radius of 41 million people with close access to major markets: Chicago, Minneapolis-St. Paul, St. Louis, Des Moines, Omaha, Kansas City and Indianapolis.

QC offers an open-minded network and drive that make the region a hub of ambition; with an opportunity to live in a place that’s as genuine as it is quirky, where you can start something and make a difference, and enjoy the well-being of an authentic community along with the freedom of connection to the world.
