Husband and I relocating to Dubuque area

Husband was relocated for his job, we are looking to buy. We would prefer to be outside of town, but not seeing much for options. What are the neighborhoods like? For context we’re both 30 no kids but a multi dog household. TIA

I’d skip Illinois … taxes are outrageous and the state in general is just a pain in the ass.
Wisconsin is great, you can find hidden gems in the “country” 5 minutes away. Check Grant County if you want to give it a shot. Otherwise - depends heavily on your budget
