Rockford

As the second largest city in Illinois, Rockford has something for everyone with its many entertainment venues and cultural attractions. The city also boasts extensive industry in the healthcare and manufacturing sectors.

Discovery Center Children's Museum and Rockford Art Museum are just two of the area's museums and offer seasonal exhibits and seminars. Additionally, the gardenscape of the Anderson Japanese Gardens is recognized as one of the top Japanese gardens in the country. The Starlight and Coronado Theatres also stand out for both their performances and architecture. If sports are more your speed, Rockford is home to the IceHogs, a professional American League Hockey team.

Bustling and walkable, the Edgewood area is home to a farmer's market and several seasonal events, as well as restaurants and boutiques. Main Street and the pedestrian mall offer another spot for dining and entertainment in Rockford's historic downtown, while Stroll on State and Restaurant Week are two events residents enjoy annually.

With the city's location on the Rock River, the opportunity for outdoor exploration is considerable. From boating to bike trails, there is adventure all around. The Sinnissippi Gardens, Nicholas Conservatory, and Joe Marino Park are located along the river and provide fantastic views and the perfect place for a stroll. During the winter, Snow Park at Alpine Hills features tubing, snowboarding, and skiing.

Beautiful historic homes, new construction, and a variety of subdivisions all contribute to Rockford's desirability. 88 miles northwest of Chicago, the city is conveniently accessible via Interstate 90.
