Iowa is often referred to as the “Land of the Rolling Prairie” due to the immense fertile plains that cover the region. The state is famous for its farms, growing crops such as corn and soybeans. Iowa is more than just farmland, however – it’s home to many quaint, rural towns as well as larger cities such as Sioux City and Des Moines. Its varied landscape, relatively low cost of living, and proximity to major Midwestern cities like Chicago and Minneapolis make Iowa a convenient location to call home and a great place to retire.

She's enjoying the social activities, the religious service, and the food. We would absolutely recommend Legacy Pointe to other families based on the experience we have had so far.
I would recommend Grand Living. We picked this community because they offered gluten free meal options, swimming pool and large physical fitness area. Also proximity to my home.
