Anyone else feel this way? With a population of 27,491, Marshalltown is a smaller city. Poverty rate is 10.4%, which is around average. The median home value here is around $117,100, which is actually reasonable. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. What are your go-to spots? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
