Named after a historic park
Prospect Park gets its name from the neighborhood's hilly centerpiece, a significant piece of the community for more than a century. Some historical structures at the park are long gone, including a 19th-century roller coaster, while others, like the waterfront dance pavilion, have stood the test of time. Folks are frequently out and about, strolling the park’s hills. "The Quad Cities overall is a very friendly place to live, and Prospect Park is a great example of the region's community feel," says Realtor Diane Godwin-Luckey of Re/Max Concepts, a longtime resident of the Quad City area. Outside the park is a residential landscape of modest houses built 75 to more than 100 years ago, along with a few upscale housing developments. The south side of the neighborhood is one of the prime shopping and dining destinations of the Quad Cities region, and a launching spot for adventures on the Rock River.
Prospect Park features a hearty mix of housing styles interspersed with great, beautiful trees.
Classic two story designs and more are just some of the housing styles of Prospect Park.

Hills, walking paths and fishing at Prospect Park
The neighborhood's namesake, Prospect Park, has been a key part of the Moline community since 1889, when it was created by the Moline Central Railway to attract trolley riders. Though visitors can’t get to the park by trolley anymore, they still enjoy the rolling hills that overlook the Rock River Valley. The park was once referred to as “Little Coney Island” when it featured a switchback railway rollercoaster similar to the old one at Coney Island. The roller coaster may be gone, but people can still go up and down the park’s slopes on the paved trails. “The walking trails range from easy, medium and hard.,” says Stacy Laake, the customer service and marketing coordinator for the city of Moline Parks and Recreation Department. “The hard ones are pretty steep. You can definitely feel a burn in your calves.” The trails lead to a small, trout-stocked pond, which Laake says is one of the most popular places to fish in Moline. The real eye-catcher, though, is the historic, two-story, Victorian-style dance pavilion that overlooks the park's lake. It was built in 1891 and is frequently rented for birthdays, weddings and other celebrations. People can also visit the park to play on the playground, basketball court and the city’s only disc golf course.
Quad City Music Guild is right next to the park, where the performing arts organization has been entertaining audiences since 1949. “The Music Guild performs all kinds of plays and musicals with community members participating,” says Godwin-Luckey.
Harold’s Landing Park sits along the Rock River next to the 27th Street Bridge. The park has a large green space with a gazebo by the water, along with a boat launch. Boaters can head west for about 7 miles to reach the Mississippi River.
Prospect Park's pond is the perfect place to spend an afternoon fishing.
Prospect Park's disc golf course is both beautiful and challenging.

From small bungalows to upscale estates
Prospect Park has a wide range of home styles, sizes and prices. Many 600- to-1,200-square-foot bungalows, cottages and Cape Cods built in the early-to-mid-1900s are grouped close together on lots of about 0.15 acres. Some streets have larger American Foursquares, Colonial Revivals and Tudor-style homes with 2,500 to 3,500 square feet of living space. All of these homes can range anywhere from $50,000 to $350,000, depending on the size and scope of renovations. Some of the neighborhood’s larger, upscale houses were built in the 1990s and early 2000s on 2.5-acre lots. Their extravagance is portrayed by steeply pitched roofs and driveways that are long and straight or circular. They range from around $500,000 to more than $1 million.
Around Prospect Park itself, one can find smaller ranch homes.
Many homes in Prospect Park are larger, with American Foursquares being in no short supply.

Miss Mamie’s has been a community staple since 1992, serving seafood, steak and its famous cinnamon rolls. The original Flip’s Pancake House, a Quad Cities chain, is also in the neighborhood, known for its hefty breakfast portions. Len Brown’s North Shore Inn & Marina sits by the Rock River. The bar stays open until 2 a.m. every day, with live music inside and outside on the riverside patio.
