[quote=Anonymous]I am familiar with Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul.  Here are my thoughts-

Chicago- more expensive (less than D.C. though)
-you can find diversity in some neighborhoods and suburbs
-good network of Catholic parishes and schools
-much cheaper private school tuition
-first rate cultural experiences
-first rate restaurants

Twin Cities-
-very affordable (both in cities and suburbs)
-strong network of Catholic parishes and schools
-strong private non catholic schools as well
-welcoming of diversity
-low crime
-an abundance of outdoor activities near by
-in state college tuition is cheap and MN is partnered with WI, ND, SD so you could attend UW Madison at in state rates too

*The Lincoln Park neighborhood in Chicago is nice for families as is Lincoln Square.  Oak Park is a thriving first ring suburb that embraces diversity but also has great Catholic schools.  Western Suburbs like Riverside, La Grange, Hinsdale, Western Springs, River Forest are places to look.

*In Twin Cities- look in South Minneapolis or the Uptown area for Minneapolis, look in Crocus Hill or Highland Park in St. Paul

If it were me, I'd head to where my husband's family is located because family can be irreplaceable. I am just not familiar with Iowa personally.
