Heritage is a suburban development on the southeast side of Moline near the Rock River. About 80% of residents own their modest midcentury houses, which fall below the citywide median of $142,000. The latter tends to be a key factor in why people choose to move to Heritage, according to Dan Kelly, a Realtor with Ruhl & Ruhl Realtors whose clients purchased a home in the neighborhood in November 2024. “The buyers really liked the price point, the size of the home and the location,” says Kelly. “Because you’re also right by parks, schools and restaurants, so you have everything.” Nature is in the backyards of many as some houses back up to a pond, and a few others face the river. There’s a park right next to the riverside homes for relaxing or launching a boat. Another nearby park is a hub for youth sports.
Modest midcentury houses
Houses in Heritage were built between the 1950s and ‘70s on suburban cul-de-sacs. The neighborhood is made up of ranch-style homes, bi-levels and Colonial Revivals with 1,200 to 1,900 square feet of living space and three to five bedrooms. Lots are flat and measure a quarter-acre or less. Garages are also common, either attached to the home or at the end of the driveway. Prices range from $100,000 to $225,000 with those in the $200,000s having a pond in the backyard. There are just over a dozen similar houses along the Rock River which rarely hit the market.
