Property Management in Dubuque, Iowa

Dubuque is Iowa’s oldest city, on the Mississippi River where Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin meet. U.S. Highway 151 connects the city northeast toward Madison across the Dubuque–Wisconsin Bridge. The riverfront, the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium, the Fenelon Place Elevator, Mines of Spain, and Eagle Point Park are the landmarks most visitors already know. For an owner, the more useful facts are the employment base and the fact that this is our Iowa market, not a one-off listing.

Major employers named by state and local sources in our city research include John Deere Dubuque Works, MercyOne Dubuque Medical Center, Cottingham & Butler, Andersen Windows & Doors, and the Dubuque Community School District. City transit is provided by The Jule. Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimates put the city at 59,148 residents on July 1, 2025, down 493 people, or 0.8%, from 59,641 in 2020. Dubuque County as a whole was nearly flat (+70 people, +0.1%) over the same period. A slight population dip is not a vacancy rate, and we do not have a current official HUD or Census vacancy series for Dubuque to cite on this page. It does mean leasing and maintenance have to be tight, because demand is not being lifted by rapid in-migration the way some Dane County suburbs are.

Patriot Properties manages four Dubuque communities listed under Dubuque on Our Properties: Raven Oaks Apartments at 3260 Raven Oaks Drive, Wildwood Apartments, Hawkeye Apartments, and Hawkeye Townhomes. (Raven Oaks is a Dubuque property, not a Wisconsin Rapids one; older notes that placed it in Rapids were wrong.) We also base field staff on the Iowa / Platteville / Dodgeville side of the portfolio, so work orders are not being dispatched only from Dane County.

Iowa owners are protected by Iowa fair housing law as well as federal law. We apply the same published screening criteria to every applicant and are an Equal Housing Opportunity provider in both states. Listings, applications, and owner statements run through AppFolio; many units can be shown on a self-guided tour.

Renters should use the Dubuque apartments page. Owners should use the CTA below or our main property management services page.
