To experience the residential side of this exciting city, head further east to McClellan Heights. Wind your way through hilly streets and take in the unique architecture of each of the stunning homes in the area before making your way to the Gold Coast & Hamburg District to take in even bigger historic homes that were built by some of the very first settlers to what is now known as the Quad Cities.
