Some residents rent homes for around $1,400 per month.

Parks inland and across the river

Fun for history buffs and sports fans
The Victorian-era Deere-Wiman House and Butterworth Center are not on the market, but residents can take advantage of all the historic and cultural programming they offer year-round. These properties belonged to the John Deere family and are now preserved thanks to the William Butterworth Foundation. “They host a lot of community events with free music, garden walks and holiday activities,” says Shamsie. “People take prom pictures and wedding pictures there. It’s free to walk the grounds. The landscaping is beautiful with big, mature trees.” For 21st-century entertainment, locals cheer on the minor league ice hockey team, Quad City Storm, at Vibrant Arena downtown. Additionally, the Spotlight Theatre hosts a Candlelight Concert Series and ComedySportz puts on family-friendly improv comedy shows.

Urban amenities close by
When it comes to public transportation, there are many bus stops along 15th Street, 12th Avenue and 6th Avenue. And to get out of town from 6th Avenue, commuters hook onto Interstate 74 and cross the Mississippi River Bridge into Iowa. The nearest general hospital and children’s hospital are both 2 miles away. Also within a 2-mile radius are the University of Illinois Chicago College of Nursing, Augustana College and Western Illinois University. Quad Cities International Airport is 5 miles away.

Moline's groceries and restaurants
In Overlook, residents can certainly walk to the park or barber shop, but those who live further from downtown might want to drive to the grocery store or restaurants. Locals grab groceries at La Primavera or Jewel Osco and dine at Las Salsas; they can also head further downtown for more restaurants such as LemonGrass Café or Tony’s Chicago Style Pizzeria.

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.
