Iowa or Illinois?
Advertisements [?]
I got a job offer in the quad cities and if I accept it, we can't decide which side of the mississippi we should live. Since we have lots of pets we decided we should buy a home versus trying to rent. I was "wowed" by the property taxes on the homes in IL. I don't know how anyone can afford a home for the taxes there. These weren't very expensive homes either. IA seems much less on prop taxes, but I realize some of my husbands retirement will be taxed there. So, I'm struggling to decide which side to go to, if I go. Any help in pointing out plus and minuses would be greatly appreciated. I do have my eye on one home in Davenport near I74 around Duck Creek and one in East Moline, IL, but the property taxes are very high at that one. As the housing prices continue to settle or fall, prop taxes will have to increase to offset the loss don't ya think?

Help!
