The pages of this magazine provide you with a taste of what Marshalltown has to offer. As you peruse these pages, imagine yourself in these pictures, experiencing a unique lifestyle.
As you consider Marshalltown, keep these three words in mind: Diversity, Pace and Location. These things set Marshalltown apart.
Diversity – We live in a global economy. Situated in rural America, Marshalltown’s business community and population are diverse. The community houses the headquarters of many strong regional, national and global companies, representing a wide range of business sectors. Many of these businesses were established right here in Marshalltown in the late 1800s and continue to be industry leaders today.
Pace – We live in a hectic world. The place you choose to live can either add to or relieve your hectic pace. The pace of Marshalltown will ease your daily pressure without sacrificing the quality of your lifestyle. You’ll find easy access to services and recreation and with virtually no commute time, you’ll have more time in your day. Use that extra time to bike, golf, garden or participate in your children’s activities.
Location – We live in America’s Heartland. Our central Iowa location offers an excellent balance between a quality lifestyle and easy access to amenities only found in urban areas. Easy drives to the major metropolitan centers of the Midwest, as well as access to hundreds of miles of trails, wineries, golf courses, auto racing and a casino, will be at your fingertips when you choose the Marshalltown lifestyle.
We invite you to experience Marshalltown. It’s a great place to live, work and play!
