Question:
What are the benefits to living in Illinois vs Iowa and vice versa if we were to live in the border area or Davenport-Rock Island-Moline? I.e., taxes, cost of living, etc.

Answer:
Cost of living should be very similar if these areas are considered part of the same metropolitan area. Tax wise, you pay lower income taxes in Illinois, 3.0% versus a range of .36 to 8.98 in Iowa. Sales tax is only slightly different in the two states, and if you are so compelled, living near a state border, shop in both states. Beyond this, look at apartments and homes in both states. You may find a neighborhood that wins you over personally, and negates any minor financial differences. Consider the usual factors:proximity to your job and activities you enjoy, school quality if you have kids or plan to have them, crime rates, and any other outstanding qualities of the community.
