Cordova, IL is a lovely small community along the Mississippi River, with all the privacy and tranquility small towns are known for. Residents of this riverfront village enjoy an enviable location about a 30-minute drive from Davenport, IA. Most streets here are residential, lined with eye-catching properties, from unassuming ranch-style homes to small cottages with flowers on the windowsills. Main Street is more or less the center of town, though there aren’t many businesses in this tiny outpost. Riley’s Roadhouse Bar & Grill is the exception—it’s where neighbors gather to imbibe and connect on nights and weekends. For those with kids, River’s Edge Park is a lifesaver, as it has a playground, basketball courts, and a picnic shelter. It’s especially fun to hang out there in summer, given the river views peeking through the trees.
One of the best things about living in Cordova is having a plethora of beautiful nature spots at your fingertips, from Princeton Wildlife Management Area to Dorrance Park. Byron Hills Golf Course is a highly rated place to practice sports while enjoying some fresh air.
The available homes for sale in Cordova range from secluded cable-style dwellings to ranch-style homes built in the last few decades. No matter which you choose, you’ll likely end up with a sizeable yard and all the space and privacy you could want.
