Jul 21, 2014 at 12:35 comment added YCor a discrete group $\Gamma$ of isometries of $\mathbf{R}^n$ indees acts properly cocompactly by isometries on $\mathbf{R}^k$ for some $k\le n$ (namely any minimal nonempty invariant affine subspace of $\mathbf{R}^n$ for the given action, but you have to take into account that the new action has a finite kernel, possibly nontrivial, and precisely equal to the maximal finite normal subgroup in $\Gamma$.
