3 Compelling Reasons to Buy Real Estate a Country Home in Le Mars, IA

City life certainly has its advantages, but for many people, country living has a charm 24-hour stores and other amenities could never replace. If you've been thinking of trading in the big city lights for small-town skies, the real estate agents at EXIT Realty Midwest, with offices in Spirit Lake, Cherokee and Le Mars, Iowa, encourage you to take the plunge.

Here are just a few benefits life in the country has to offer:

• Peace & Quiet: For many people, the constant noise of urban life grows more and more stressful, until it’s impossible to relax. Buying a house in small town, or out in the country, lets you trade in honking horns and yelling neighbors for the sweet sound of crickets and wind rustling through the trees.
• Lower Crime Rates: It's not just a stereotype—small town life is much safer than living in a city. In fact, the Bureau of Justice Statistics recently reported that violent crime out in the sticks is almost 25% lower than the average urban area.
• Home Ownership Is Still Possible: Real estate values continue to rise across the country. While this is good news for those who already own real estate, skyrocketing prices can represent a major barrier to home ownership, especially in highly competitive urban areas. For many families, realizing the American dream of owning your own home may only be possible in the country.
