West Davenport
West Davenport is the working half of the city and dresses accordingly. Rockingham Road, Locust, and the stretches out toward the airport are strip-mall pragmatic rather than picturesque, with the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds and Credit Island parks providing the green relief. Housing is cheaper than the east side by a meaningful margin, which keeps a younger and more transient renter base in play, and the dive bars along West Locust have a regular crowd that does not pretend otherwise. Date nights here lean honest: a brewery, a fairgrounds concert, a walk at Credit Island. Affordability is the compensation.
