    My husband and I are planning to move to the area next summer 2025. Thank you for these videos. We are from California and have never been to Iowa so these are wonderful!

      @@livingincentraliowa we are planning to come out this summer. We are looking into the new construction homes. We need a minimum of 4 bedrooms but would prefer 5. We can afford $3,500 to $4,000 a month for the mortgage payment. I’ve been looking on Zillow and that seems doable.

    Used to live in Grinnell IA, and I used to come up with any excuse to go to Ankeny.

    Thanks for this video :) My wife and I are open to relocating and just checking it out. Some of the info I find worthwhile is seeing a map of some different areas/neighborhoods and at least a quick overview of general prices, styles, cultures, what’s near what, and so on. Also, general driving times to and from different areas locally as well as Des Moines proper, but I could possibly be missing the point of the video lol I appreciate some of the details you guys mentioned though. Seems like a nice place :)

      Thanks so much for the feedback, Adam! I really appreciate it.
      This "making videos" thing is very much a learning process for us. We were battling illness this week but I'll be sure to incorporate into next weeks video 👊

    Life long Central Iowa resident who attended DMACC Ankeny. Ankeny struggles with not being able to keep up with amount of growth it has seen. I35 on/off ramps are clogged as well as all the streets connected to the ramps. Delaware Ave is clogged nearly every hour of the day. Outside of a few developed areas (like Jethros Lake area) the city is pretty boring with little in the way of landmarks/culture/events. You go to the towns around Ankeny for that. Also property taxes have gone up so much during the last 10 years that many people are being squeezed out if they don't work a 6 figure job. It's defiantly a commuter/suburb.

      @@livingincentraliowa Agreed. I know quite a bit of people also that live in Ankeny, most of them have more than 1 roommate so they have a reasonable budget rather than paying rent by yourself.

    Loved this video and look forward to watching all your other videos. Have recently looked into visiting your state from Oklahoma to go to the John Wayne & Donna Reed Museums along with taking in an Iowa Cubs game. Are there any other attractions you would recommend if I were to visit the Des Moines area?... Just subscribed btw.

      Thank you! When are you planning on visiting? Some of our attractions (farmers markets, state fair, etc.) are seasonal
      Some other favorite spots of mine are some of our historic neighborhoods (East Village, Highland Park, Sherman Hill, Valley Junction, etc.)
