Living in the Midwest

No matter what your age, experience or background, you’ll find the heartland of America a great place to call home.

Affordable housing: Median real estate prices in our service area are below the national average, and there’s no shortage of homes of all sizes to choose from. Rental properties are plentiful and affordable as well – and you’ll never have a long commute in heavy traffic.

Laid-back lifestyle: Family-friendly neighborhoods, low crime rates, a diverse mix of cultures and religions – our Midwestern values make it easy to settle in and become part of a community.

Great schools: In study after study, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin all rank in the top five in the nation in educational excellence. In addition to our award-winning public school systems for your children, you’ll find world-renowned research universities and liberal arts colleges for furthering your own education.

What our employees say

“I especially like the historic buildings throughout the downtown Dubuque area. There are several that have been restored and turned into bed and breakfasts, shops, and restaurants. I love the change of seasons: warm sunny summer, cool crisp autumn, cold snowy winter, followed by fresh green spring, when everything is in full bloom.”

“The Fond du Lac area provides for a great family living experience. Excellent community services, large, active volunteer organizations, a multitude of youth activities, top-notch schools with advanced technology and advanced degree teachers, plus three college campuses at the foot of Lake Winnebago and at the edge of the Kettle Moraine forest country all provide for a very enjoyable lifestyle.

“My family lives in Iowa because we choose to do so. We appreciate the diverse seasons and variety of recreational resources, the outstanding educational systems and unique cultural opportunities, and the traditional Midwestern values that are exemplified by friendly, hard-working people. Iowa has a sense of ‘community,’ of people who genuinely care.”
