Rock Island, IL Apartments for Rent

Located at the confluence of the Mississippi and Rock Rivers, Rock Island offers a rich historical legacy and strong community spirit. As one of the historic Quad Cities, Rock Island provides convenient access to the Rock Island Arsenal, the largest government-owned weapons manufacturing arsenal in the United States. With an average rent of $659 for one-bedroom apartments compared to the Illinois state average of $1,634, Rock Island presents considerable value for renters.

The city features notable attractions like the Black Hawk State Historic Site, where visitors can explore hiking trails and learn about the area's Native American heritage, and the Quad City Botanical Center's year-round indoor gardens. Several bridges spanning the Mississippi River, including the historic Government Bridge and the Centennial Bridge, connect Rock Island to neighboring Quad Cities. The city is home to Augustana College, and the MetroLINK transit system serves the area, making it easy to explore everything the region has to offer.
