MSN just released an article on the top Most-Livable Bargain Markets. Des Moines was named #1. The article sited the number of jobs available in financial and agribusiness, the stable economy and the low median price of housing ($150,000).
While we all know that these are tough economic times (even here) it’s nice
to hear that Des Moines may be fairing better than most. It also reinforces what most of us that live or have lived in Iowa know – the quality of life is high. We offer great schools, low crime, easy commutes, a great sense of community and friendly people.
MSN did mention that our climate can be less than ideal at times but that just proves that Iowans are tough!
