Pros and cons of Fort Madison after 14 years
Been meaning to ask this. The median home value here is around $95,900, which is actually reasonable.

My experience has been mostly positive. it's exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I'd watch out for is public transit. Other than that, Definitely worth checking out..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a HR manager who relocated here from Denver about 14 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and school.
Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Close to major attractions
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Property taxes are high
Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are growing, gas is underrated.
Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. No regrets on my end..
