What cities are building new housing? Are there cities in Iowa that simply aren't adding any new housing? I am referring to the urban centers.
I would guess that DM has new construction, in which direction is it heading?
Does CR have new housing?

I know many cities in Iowa are building like crazy. I think Des Moines is the epicenter. Most of the building in the Des Moines metro is moving west. West Des Moines, Johnston, Clive, Grimes, etc. There is new construction heading east though. Altoona and Pleasant Hill are growing.

thanks, I didnt think anyone was ever going to respond to my question.
Can you tell me if Cedar Rapids is experiencing new home growth?
CR is mainly my interest. I don't know about Des Moines. It seemed very
conjesting in the city when I visited there.

Yeah, the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City areas (they're only about 10 miles apart) have built 15,828 new home units since 2000. I grew up about 12 miles south of Cedar Rapids - and both cities have been building many many new homes the past 15 years or so.

The ajoining metro areas have grown from roughly 332,000 to 387,000 since 1990. That's not too bad, 55,000 people - a lot of new houses.

Dubuque. Dubuque has several new ritzy subdivisions in every direction (primarily west.) Cities like Peosta and Asbury have turned into thriving cities, whereas ten years ago they both were tiny dots on the map.

West of Dubuque, and north towards Balltown are where some of the high quality subdivisions can be found.

A lot to do in Dubuque. Check it out.
