About Milan
Nestled between the banks of the Mississippi and Rock Rivers, Milan is a small-town community with access to big-city amenities. The streets are quiet, and living is easy for the residents who call this beautiful community home. Milan is also in a prime location—being just 165 miles from Chicago and halfway between Minneapolis and St. Louis—making it the perfect place to experience the Quad Cities region and all that it has to offer. Whether you are riding on a bike path or visiting a park, this town’s recreational activities offer something for everyone!
Milan Home & Community Information
Milan is situated on the Rock River, which is about four miles upstream from its outlet to the Mississippi. The streets are lined with shops, restaurants, pubs, and even a bowling alley! The community is laid back, friendly, and is diverse in both ethnicity and age range.
The north side of town—located in the Rock Island School District—is home to families and young professionals while the south side is more farmland—located in the Sherrard School District. Milan is an ideal place to raise a family and its close proximity to the Quad Cities makes it easy to enjoy an easygoing lifestyle that’s close to big city amenities. The village is ranked #37 of 363 for Suburbs with the Lowest Cost of Living in Illinois. Whether you prefer a smaller city with a tight-knit community or a larger city with more options, you can have both in Milan.
Housing here is abundant and most area residents own their homes. With high average incomes, job opportunities, and a healthy economy, it’s no secret why many people are choosing to move to this diverse and culturally rich area. People feel welcome to live in just about any part of the city, and the overall housing costs, utilities, grocery items, transportation, healthcare facilities, goods and services are significantly lower than the national average.

There is a wide variety of unique and independent small businesses in Milan, such as the Four Seasons clothing stores and the famous Happy Joe’s Pizza & Ice Cream franchise. The Quad cities overall is a great place that offers wonderful job opportunities, and the Iowa side of the region continues to see consistent, economic growth.
