Alright, I relocated for work and Household incomes average around $72,766 in Kalona. The median home value here is around $221,300, which is actually reasonable. The city has invested a lot in new development. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

I've lived in Old Town for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Boston, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- The outdoor recreation scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Dating scene is rough
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for families. Definitely worth checking out..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Internet is hit or miss in most areas.

As someone who grew up here, it exceeded my expectations. A lot has changed in the past few years though. walkability used to be much established but now it's tough.
