Orion offers a relaxed pace with Quad Cities convenience. In Henry County, it’s a quick hop to opportunities in Moline and Rock Island, while nearby Geneseo and Coal Valley broaden dining, shopping, and weekend options. Tree-lined streets, walkable blocks, and a calendar full of hometown traditions give the village lasting appeal for first-time buyers and longtime residents alike.
Families are drawn to Orion Community Unit School District 223 for its close-knit culture and spirited extracurriculars; explore programs and calendars at Orion CUSD 223. Friday nights glow under the lights at Orion High School, and younger learners build foundations at the district’s elementary and middle schools. Community pride shines at the Orion Fall Festival, a Labor Day-weekend favorite with a parade, live music, contests, and food stands that bring neighbors together year after year.
Weekends can mean pick-up games on local diamonds, a quiet book run, or family time with giraffes and lions at the nearby Niabi Zoo. Commuters appreciate swift access to I-74 and Route 150, while regional employers, hospitals, and airports are within an easy drive across the Quad Cities. Housing choices range from classic century homes on established streets to newer builds on roomy lots, giving movers flexibility at a variety of price points.
