Rock Hill/ Moline Illinois (Peoria, Rock Island: housing, price, moving)

[bls5555]

Can anyone give me advice on this area? I am looking into moving there (possibly Peoria also) but not sure what to expect. Affordable housing? I really don't want to spend more than $150,000 (even less if possible). Can I get a nice house in family oriented neighborhood for that price in Rock Hill, Moline or Peoria?

Thanks for the help.

I think if you do a search on "Quad Cities," you will bring up a couple of threads about the area that might answer your questions. I've never heard of Rock Hill; do you mean Rock Island? There is no Rock Hill, IL, that I can find.

Try www.realtor.com for housing prices. You should be able to find something acceptable in Moline or Peoria for $150K.

Yeah. Rock Island is what I meant. Sorry.

Rock Island and Moline have the cheapest housing prices in the Quad City area. You can easily afford a nice house in a pleasant neighborhood for around $100,000.

The best part of Rock Island is south of 18th Avenue and east of 30th street. Moline is going to be a little pricier, but for $120-$150k, you'll find something nice in a safe area. Moline's best neighborhoods are located between Avenue Of The Cities and John Deere Road. There is a really nice neighborhood situated between 70th and 79th Streets, but the prices might be a little out of your price range.

Peoria housing appears to be roughly 10% higher than those in the Illinois Quad Cities.
