Urban living near the Quad Cities
Moline is a town that was built from the top down.

The Karstens-City Line neighborhood was started a little later than Old Towne and has a mix of homes from the turn of the century through today. It’s a primarily residential area with its own green space but also contains the City Line Plaza shopping mall, grocery stores and eateries. It’s also adjacent to a medical park and Saukie Golf Course. Bordered on one side by the city line between Moline and Rock Island, the neighborhood is centrally located in the Quad Cities and near roadways like 19th Avenue and Interstate 74.

Integrated green spaces for daily use
"Karstens Park is a real neighborhood park with a baseball diamond, basketball court and new playground. It was the oldest playground in Moline, but it was replaced in 2021. There’ve been heavy investments made in the past few years to revitalize the spaces,” says Eric Griffith, the Director of Parks and Recreation for Moline for the past four years. “Stephens Park is a regional park and is much larger. It draws people from all across Moline, and there’s a Belgian Fest that happens every year that brings people from around the Quad Cities. They also have different activities like Rolle Bolle (a Belgian form of bowling). There are leagues and some tournaments here.”
Karstens Park is the perfect place for Karstens-City Line residents to take an afternoon stroll.
