Living in Ankeny

Neighborhoods

Northeast Ankeny features high-end homes, strong schools, and parks; Northwest Ankeny emphasizes bikeability; Prairie Trail offers larger newer homes plus a walkable commercial district with restaurants, a theater, and the library; some mid-century homes sit near historic uptown, while most housing is post-2000 subdivisions and ongoing new construction. Family-friendly Des Moines suburb that has kept a small-town feel amid rapid growth.

Getting around

Average commute about 20.8 minutes; many residents drive roughly 14 miles south to downtown Des Moines (or West Des Moines). Rapid growth has brought traffic congestion on main routes such as Interstate 35, though the city is addressing it.

What locals say

Portrayed as a fast-growing yet still small-town-feeling Des Moines suburb prized for highly rated schools, extensive parks and trails, family friendliness, and relatively lower housing costs versus the national average; growth has also meant more traffic on major roads.
