West Burlington

W. Burlington is a semi rural area. Not much to do...nothing to do....nice, nice people. There may be minor league BB in summers...Spent 11 days there while family member was in hospital there. That was more than enough!

West Burlington

West Burlington is a the light industrial/mall/chain store (Wallmart) suburb of Burlington. Burlington itself is built on several hills overlooking the Mississipi and is attractive from a small town perspective with old historic homes and buildings. It has several beautiful parks overlooking the River and a very nice new library. There are also some nice attractive hilly wooded parklands in the area--for example, Starr%26#39;s Cave and Big Hollow that have nice walking trails. There is a small water park type attraction. It has a new hospital/health complex which is pretty good. There is a steamboat days celebration in mid June on the River front with music and including jazz groups. There is a civic auditorium on the riverfront that has a series of music events. Above average restaurants are very limited to almost non-existent. There is a 2-yr college which is actually located in West B. For someone seeking a quiet rural or country lifestyle , the area can be quite attractive. But most people who are looking for bigger city lifestyles and attractions would be disappointed. You may want to check out: www.hawkeye.com to get an idea of area news, etc.
