Best kept secrets of Dubuque, IA
Random thought, I'm a college student here and The unemployment rate is 2.9%, which is pretty low. The median home value here is around $193,100, which is actually reasonable. Crime rate is something to consider -Dubuque sits at 189.7 per 100K. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Diverse community
- Active local events
Cons:
- Not very walkable
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Far from major airports
- Chain restaurants dominate

It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
