City - Beloit

Situated on the Wisconsin-Illinois state line, Beloit is a bustling metropolis that is mainly residential, offering public transportation, riverside views, and community parks! Enjoy paddle boats, picnic spots, playgrounds, and community events on the lawn at Riverside Park overlooking Rock River.

And if you love riverfront views, be sure to order delicious eats at the Rock Bar and Grill on Maple Avenue. Situated in Rock County, the city of Beloit is a populated urban area, but it’s surrounded by sprawling open land with the occasional single-family home scattered throughout.

So, though the city is lively, it’s surrounded by peaceful rural lands.
