Jackson has a thriving manufacturing industry
Jackson is a city of around 3,200 people along the Des Moines River. With a northern half dominated mainly by industrial facilities, many homeowners come to the area for work and take advantage of local amenities with their families. “For such a small town, we have an incredible amount of manufacturing with companies like AGCO,” says Dave Schmidt, former economic developer for the city. “But there’s also a lot of nature. We’ve got a great river, lots of parks and plenty of activities in the summer.”

20th-century homes are on the west side of the Des Moines River

The newest homes are on the east side of the river, consisting of split-levels and ranch-style houses built in the 1970s. Both sides of the river are filled with midcentury designs. The median price for a single-family home is around $180,000, significantly less than the national median price of around $400,000.
