Buffalo offers riverfront living with a small‑town pace and big‑city access. Set along a broad, scenic bend of the Mississippi, it’s minutes from Davenport and Bettendorf in Scott County, making commutes, shopping, and healthcare straightforward while keeping that everyday sense of space and quiet. Residents enjoy a practical mix of classic bungalows and newer homes, plus the working character of a town shaped by the river, industry, and rail.
Outdoors, anglers and paddlers take to the water at sunrise, while cyclists and runners trace the shoreline via the Mississippi River Trail. Just upriver, the restored wetlands and trails at the Nahant Marsh Education Center deliver four‑season birding and environmental programs. A short drive brings you to the riverfront trails, golf, and disc golf at Credit Island Park, a favorite for eagle watching when the ice sets in.
Families appreciate that students attend Buffalo Elementary, part of the broader community school district anchored in nearby Davenport, with athletics, arts, and career‑technical options across the system. Weekend routines often blend a coffee on Main Street, a river drive at dusk, and quick trips to Quad Cities cultural venues, all without sacrificing the ease of a tight‑knit community.
