Asbury has plenty of single-family homes near Dubuque
Asbury, a bedroom community west of Dubuque, offers buyers plenty of single-family homes and green spaces near shopping and dining destinations. Originally a farming town of less than 100 people, Asbury has grown into multiple housing subdivisions as land has been sold to developers over the previous decades. With a population of 5,900, Asbury is within commuting distance to Dubuque’s entertainment and local job centers, including the John Deere Dubuque Works and food processor Hormel. “It’s a quiet little community,” says Kimberly Roush, a Realtor with The Nova Group at Keller Williams Legacy Group, who has been selling in the area for over seven years. “We're growing into farmland, so it's spreading into cute little communities out here. You’ve still got some breathing room, but it’s a lot of activity, and you're close to Dubuque, so if you need anything, you are right there.”
Relics of Asbury's past farming culture still stand in the community.
Asbury is a community popular with those looking for a short commute to jobs in Dubuque.

Higher prices for homes with HOAs present
Homes in Asbury can range from split-levels and ranch-styles to New Traditionals and custom builds. The median housing price is $457,500, higher than state and national medians. However, prices can typically run from $230,000 to $700,000 depending on size, location and condition. Homes can even hit the million-dollar range. Roush says the area continues to see new builds as farmers continue to sell off land for more development. “There is not a lot of low-cost housing in Asbury; you are probably priced toward the middle and upper levels,” says Roush.
Homes are typically on winding streets with smaller lot sizes, with oak and maple trees accenting lawns. Some properties with large lots are also present. Roush also notes that Asbury has been attracting a mix of younger families and retirees, as there are some senior living communities.
Roush adds that some HOA activity is present, especially in newer developments. Still, owners must follow covenants to ensure properties are maintained. According to Roush, HOA-controlled properties have reasonable fees, and associations assist with street maintenance and snow removal.
