Everly jobs Jan 27, 2026

Been meaning to ask this. My family moved here when I was a kid. You can expect to pay around $1,040 for rent here. Rent is about $1,040/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $263,800 on average. With a population of 66,112, Ames is a smaller city. The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Worth the trade-offs? Thanks for reading. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
