East Moline is widely considered to be the fourth but not the final of the Quad Cities. Today, there are actually five cities within the Quad Cities grouping: East Moline, Moline and Rock Island in Illinois, and Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries there was a lot going on in the Illinois-Iowa region. During that time, East Moline was added to the Tri-City area, which included Moline, Rock Island, and Davenport, and the region was renamed the Quad City area. Interestingly, a fifth city of Bettendorf was added to the Quad City area in the late 1940s, but the term Quint City wasn't nearly as catchy as Quad City, so the name Quad City stuck around even though the number of cities increased.
Anyone doing an apartment search in East Molina should also take a look at the houses for rent and the condos for rent currently on the market. Although there aren't too many all bills paid apartments in East Moline, the housing prices in the town have remained fairly stable since late 2009 and early 2010. This means that renters are well positioned to get good value, while landlords will be willing to expedite background checks and other criteria normally used on potential renters.

East Moline is broken up into 5 primary neighborhoods, each with their own architecture and charm. As a general rule, the further south you go (away from the Mississippi River), the more expensive it becomes. However, good value can be found anywhere in East Moline. The five neighborhoods are as follows:
19th Street and 13th Street: This neighborhood is closest to the Mississippi River and has the best value properties. If you are looking for an affordable place with a river view, this is the neighborhood to check out.
16th Avenue and 7th Street: This neighborhood is great if you want to be close to commercial areas without being directly in the middle of them. Close to downtown, but still its own separate entity, this neighborhood has a balance of residential and commercial amenities.
Downtown East Moline: If you want to be walking distance from the bars and restaurants in East Moline, this is the place to live. Two of the most popular restaurants are La Primavera (for Italian food) and Adolph's Mexican Food.
Archer Drive and 30th Avenue: This neighborhood is still close to downtown but still offers a bit of distance for those who can't make up their minds.
Forest Road and 7th Street: This is one of the nicest and most in demand neighborhoods in the area, offering some of the biggest lots and nicest views in the city.
While East Moline is primarily a bedroom community, the downtown area is always vibrant on a Friday or Saturday night. In addition, John Deere is the largest employer in the town, with a history that is intertwined with the city itself. The cultural influence of John Deere and farming culture in general is readily apparent through the city of East Moline.
