Varied and stable in these difficult economic times

One of the greatest assets of Bureau County is the diversity and affordability of housing types available. Whether it’s a country home on a few acres with space for horses, a quiet wooded site, a condominium or townhome with all the conveniences of city living, an apartment, a home with early century craftsmanship outside and inside, or a modern home in a wide variety of sizes—all can be found in Bureau County.

A casual drive through Bureau County reveals many large homes of splendid architecture on very large lots. Homes that reveal Bureau County’s historic past. These beautiful homes boast of features such as exquisite woodwork, large rooms, and leaded glass windows—appointments that simply cannot be found in modern homes. If you are looking for homes that are more contemporary or recently built homes, there are several subdivisions with homes of various styles and price ranges. Lots are available if you wish to build a custom home. There are also many pleasant tree lined neighborhoods with very nice and very affordable homes. Country subdivisions with large lots can be found within just a few miles of some towns for those who want a little more space and country views. And in rural surroundings, fine country properties line our county roads and lanes. Apartments, attached single family dwellings, condos, and retirement homes offer even more diversity to our housing mix. There are homes for every taste and budget! Come to Bureau County and live your dream!
