Andover blends small-town ease with wide-open possibilities, offering a quiet pace of life in the heart of Clinton County. Residents enjoy quick access to larger amenities in nearby Clinton and DeWitt, from shopping and dining to healthcare at MercyOne Clinton Medical Center. Continuing education and workforce training are close at hand through Clinton Community College, part of Eastern Iowa Community Colleges. The result is a community that feels close-knit while staying connected to the region’s jobs, services, and entertainment.
Families value Andover’s placement within the Northeast Community School District, known for strong academics, individual attention, and spirited extracurriculars. Outdoor time is easy to come by: cast a line, paddle, or birdwatch at Rock Creek Marina & Campground; explore the Mississippi backwaters and take a scenic drive to Sabula, Iowa’s island city; or plan a weekend of hiking and cave exploration at Maquoketa Caves State Park. Housing options range from tidy traditional homes to acreage properties, and the low traffic and starry skies make evenings feel unhurried.
