What are the surrounding cities of Rock Island, Illinois?|170288

My cousin and I are going to college in Rock Island City. We want to live in an apartment instead of a dorm, but the apartments in the city are WAY to expensive for us. So are they_re any cities, or small towns within 10 miles of Rock Island with cheaper real estate?

Thanks!
