being able to walk to most things would be nice
would be nice for my health, since I don't exercise regularly
4-5 block walk to a small town bar with great food and good people.(even the hawkeye fans)

I can drive to anything within 20-30 minutes usually less than 10 with little to no traffic
I don't mind driving. Kinda enjoy it.
90 minutes to the airport in Omaha - easy airport
but, I rarely travel by air
Greenery is not a problem here. Plenty of fresh air, wild life, stargazing is good.
Very little crime or other issues. Haven't locked my doors since moving here in 89.
Property is very inexpensive.
Property and sales tax is inexpensive (the latter is 7%. This is the total of state and county sales tax rates. The Iowa state sales tax rate is currently 6%.)
