I grew up in Hiawatha and graduated from Hiawatha Elementary, Kennedy High School and Kirkwood Community College. Growing up, I knew I wanted to own a duplex in Hiawatha. I kept an Excel spreadsheet that list all 3 dozen or so duplexes in town. I moved back to town over 5 years ago, when I was able to purchase my own owner occupied rental duplex. I really like the offerings that the community has. Our quality of life, our parks, our library and our fire and police.
