Kewanee is a welcoming, small Midwestern city with affordable short-term housing, a compact historic downtown of cafes and shops, regular community events, and easy access to parks and low-key outdoor recreation—ideal for settling in quickly and enjoying relaxed evenings between shifts.
When you want bigger-city options, Peoria and the Quad Cities (Moline/Davenport) are within about an hour’s drive, offering major hospitals, cultural venues, shopping, nightlife and an airport for weekend trips.
