Silvis, IL

Tucked along the eastern edge of the Quad Cities, Silvis is a welcoming small town with deep roots and a strong sense of community. Home to around 8,000 residents, it offers a quieter, more relaxed pace while keeping you only minutes away from neighboring Moline and East Moline. The city takes immense pride in its history, most notably Hero Street USA, a famous residential street that has sent more than a hundred residents to serve in the military. Historic railroad ties also shaped the town, leaving behind a hard-working Midwestern charm that you can still feel today.
