My line of work has leads in Altoona, Cedar Rapids, or Rathburn. So if I end up adding to your workload, sorry. But CR and Rath are looking better for me.
Rathbun Lake area is beautiful. Small town living at its finest down there. Nothing like Cedar Rapids or Des Moines area. Small town housing will be one-half or even one-third of the cities.
Altoona is a nice community. Just a few miles from Des Moines but without the dirtbags and crime. It has Adventureland Amusement Park, Prairie Meadows horse track and casino, and Bass Pro Shops. Close to State Fair.
Cedar Rapids wants to be Des Moines but just can't quite compete entertainment wise. Good job market there.

I'm heading in to work. Good luck!
Thanks, your info is useful. The wife's family is all near or south of Ottumwa and I didn't care for that area.
