Take a Step Back in Time

The Broadway Historic District is a 19th century neighborhood in the heart of Rock Island, Illinois. This revitalized residential area is known for its vintage homes, exciting preservation efforts, and front porch socializing.

The neighborhood is located near Rock Island’s thriving arts-and-entertainment district and Mississippi River. Residents and visitors enjoy close proximity to parks, bike paths, schools, and shopping.

The Broadway area has earned a reputation for its architecture and neighborhood events. It was awarded the status of National Historic District in 1998 and has been recognized in Midwest Living and This Old House magazines. Hundreds of people attend the neighborhood’s annual Tour of Homes, where beautifully restored Victorian era homes are open to visitors.

Come learn more about the history of Rock Island and the Broadway District, and what makes this such a great place to live.

NSP II Funding Brings Opportunities to Broadway

Perhaps you have seen green signs posted around Broadway recently? Those signs mean a Renovation is indeed in Progress, thanks to funding through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) grants administered by Rock Island Economic Growth Corporation (RIEGC). RIEGC was awarded over $18 million, in partnership with the cities of Moline and Sterling. They are targeting homes in many neighborhoods in Rock Island, but Broadway is certainly seeing our fair share of work. Best of all, when completed, potential homebuyers may qualify for up to $35,000 in assistance in the form of a forgiveable loan, which offsets your mortgage balance, making homeownership more affordable.

For more information on the NSP II Program and the Broadway homes for sale, visit liveri.com. You can see homes already for sale and see homes either out for bid or under renovation already, along with other useful information.

The work has just begun, but it's exciting to see many of our historic homes brought back to life! Thank you RIEGC for all your work in Broadway and throughout Rock Island!
