Things that make Muscatine unique

Curious what people think. We have two kids and Household incomes average around $59,332 in Muscatine. Poverty rate is 14.9%, which is around average. Rent is about $979/month for a decent place. Crime rate is something to consider -Muscatine sits at 197.3 per 100K. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Pros:
- Close to nature
- Easy commute
- Lots of new development
- Good internet infrastructure

Cons:
- Limited nightlife
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Homelessness issues downtown
