Midcentury homes on oak-lined streets
“It’s an older, midcentury neighborhood with tons of giant oak trees, as well as some homes that back up to woods and meadows,” says Henning. Mature trees provide a cover of shade over the community’s quiet streets and sidewalks, while some backyards extend out into the wooded hillsides. Lot sizes typically range from one-quarter to half an acre, providing plenty of room for landscaping, gardening and backyard barbeques. Home styles consist of split-levels, Colonial Revivals and low-flung ranch-style homes. Built mainly in the '70s and '80s, houses here have been maintained through thoughtful upgrades that modernize while retaining the home's original charm. Home prices range from around $150,000 to $350,000 on average. For those looking for something with less upkeep, apartment rentals are available at Pine Ridge Apartments, situated along the western edge of the community.

For indoor activities, the Moline-East Moline YMCA is about 1 mile north of the neighborhood and offers many programs, from swim lessons and group exercise classes to youth and adult sports. Moline Public Library is close by, serving as a gathering place for the greater community.

Though most use a car to get around, the Quad Cities MetroLINK serves the neighborhood through several bus stops along 41st Street, 34th Avenue and 38th Avenue.

For shopping, residents can head just a few miles away to several shopping areas, including Rock River Plaza, which offers everyday essentials at Walmart and Lowe’s, as well as fast-food chains like Chick-fil-A and Panda Express.
