“There are many desirable attributes to living and working in Iowa from affordability to low crime rate. Even though it is a desirable place to live, housing remains very affordable. The educational system is one of the best in the country and, combined with the lower cost of living, makes Iowa a great place to raise a family. For more information about other Iowa perks, contact me.”
