A Chicago couple, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford De Jong, write from Chicago about apartment living in Pella Iowa. They argue an apartment building would fit Pella’s business growth, offer lower rents, and suit young couples, while noting potential downsides from competing with house rentals and undesirable tenants. They plan to move to South Central Iowa soon and seek a suitable rental rather than an entire house.
