Molette
Suburban Neighborhood in Moline, Illinois
Rock Island County 61265
Starter homes at a decent price
The neighborhood's streets are lined with rectangular, grassy lawns and mature trees that bloom brightly in the spring and summer months. Floorplans are on the smaller side, usually around 1,000 square feet, while nearby residential streets offer larger homes with 1,500 and 2,000-square-foot designs. “A lot of these homes have been renovated and updated. Those that haven't usually sell at a lower price point,” Meyer says. Ranch-style homes, split-levels and brick cottages can all be found in this area with yard sizes that vary from around 5,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet. Residents will have plenty of room for landscaping and gardening. Homes in the Molette subdivision range from around $85,000 to around $115,000 because of their small size, while larger homes on nearby streets outside the subdivision list for between $100,000 and $215,000.

Riverside Park is close to home
Molette is less than a mile from the city’s popular Riverside Park and Aquatic Center, where locals can take advantage of athletic fields, play areas and tennis and pickleball courts. It also has an outdoor swimming pool where locals cool off during the hot summer months. For indoor activities, Two Rivers YMCA is about a mile east of the neighborhood. There, residents and their families will find plenty of programs to check out, from swim lessons and group exercise classes to youth and adult sports.Walking distance to Moline High
Young students can attend either Roosevelt Elementary School or George Washington Elementary School depending on what side of the neighborhood residents live in. Both schools hold C-plus ratings from Niche, an online school review site. Upperclassmen attend Woodrow Wilson Middle School, which holds a B-minus rating, and Moline High School, which holds a B-plus rating. Moline High School offers plenty of options for aspiring artists and musicians, including a wide array of bands, ensembles and choirs. The school opened the Bartlett Performing Arts Center to the public in 2019, a state-of-the-art theater with 800 seats. “One of the great things about Molette is that it’s walking distance from an elementary school, middle school and the city’s only high school,” Meyer says.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
