DubuqueAskMe who lives in Peosta, have you traveled entire state of Iowa? You seem to know a lot about every area and have only lived in Iowa a little over a year. Or do you research each place on line?

Sorry about the confusion. There would be like 100 options if they were towns, so I decided to make it a regions poll, and people usually like the cities in their favorite region...
LPerkins, Des Moines is a great place in Iowa. Ames is as well. You treat IC as if it is the only place worth living in the state of Iowa and about 99% of Iowans would disagree.
And, no, I did not want to make it about bigger cities.
I put the bigger cities by the region names so that all of you could know what city was in what region...
My personal favorite cities in Northeast Iowa are:
Bellevue, Manchester, Maquoketa, Independence, Elkader, Strawberry Point, Epworth, Farley, Dyersville, Postville, Decorah, and Cresco.
Each one of these cities has that "Mississippi River" culture, from the architecture to the people to the religion, and I am in love with that style.

Favorite mid-sized Iowa town
Although I picked NE Iowa as my favorite region (hilly, woodsy) my favorite town is Burlington. Situated in its own hilly, woodsy locale, it's a nice scenic place with an unhurried pace, but still big enough to be an economic hub and to have all the conveniences you'd need.
