November 18, 2021

At Hubbell Homes, we believe your home reflects the neighborhood you live in — which is exactly why we build our homes in the most interesting neighborhoods in and around Des Moines. From family-friendly West Des Moines to funky Altoona and everything in between, our team knows exactly what hometown means to you. Take a look at all the areas where you’ll find our beautiful homes, and learn more about a few of our favorite places to live:

Ankeny 

Long a farming community, Ankeny has recently blossomed into a thriving family-oriented suburb. The District at Prairie Trail is where everyone gathers for food, fun, and more. The Prairie Ridge Sports Complex is home to a variety of baseball, soccer, softball, and football fields. And the AR Workshop offers classes on creating custom decor from raw materials. Just the thing for decorating your new home at Heritage Park at Prairie Trail.  

Altoona

Just east of Des Moines, Altoona is Iowa’s destination for quirky fun & entertainment. From the thrills of Adventureland Park to the retail treasures of Outlets of Des Moines, to the local BBQ at Jethro’s n’ Jake’s, there’s a little bit of everything in Altoona. Including our Tuscany neighborhood. 

Carlisle

Warm and welcoming Carlisle is a one-of-a-kind city that checks all the boxes. Surrounded by rolling hills, yet less than 25 minutes from downtown Des Moines, it’s a commuter’s dream. With top-rated schools and clean, safe neighborhoods, Carlisle is just the place to raise a family. Perhaps in our Danamere Farms neighborhood! 

Downtown Des Moines | Des Moines

The state's capital city is alive with quaint neighborhoods, boutique businesses, beautiful parks, award-winning restaurants, an impressive network of trails, and an abundance of public art

It’s no wonder so many of our neighborhoods are right in the heart of this vibrant city: Edison, Gray’s Station, The Banks, Greens at Woodland Hills, Grover Woods, Riverwoods, and Summersfield. 

West Des Moines

From the day it was founded, West Des Moines has been dedicated to providing the best quality of life for its citizens. With great schools, affordable homes, plentiful parks & trails, a burgeoning business scene, and a thriving arts community, this unique city definitely lives up to its promise. West Des Moines is one of the fastest-growing communities in Iowa. It’s easy to see why! You’ll find our Aventura, Della Vita, and Mill Ridge communities in West Des Moines. 

Johnston 

With its motto, “Thrive. Every day.”, this fast-growing suburb north of Des Moines is committed to giving its residents everything they need to do just that: Award-winning schools, safe neighborhoods, family-friendly resources, 35 miles of trails. That dedication to quality of life is why our Crosshaven neighborhood fits right in! 

Norwalk 

If location is everything, then Norwalk has it all! With easy access to Des Moines International Airport, major highways, and interstates, as well as Des Moines and West Des Moines, Norwalk is a hot spot for development, careers, and great schools. Check out the great restaurants, gorgeous golf courses, and beautiful Lake Colchester while you’re visiting our The Legacy and Village on the Ridge neighborhoods.

Urbandale 

Originally a "streetcar suburb”, Urbandale has grown steadily since the end of World War II. It has a quintessential small-town feeling with everything you could possibly need, including top-rated schools, plenty of parks, interesting restaurants, fun special events, and more. Located on the north side of Urbandale, our Waterford Landing neighborhood is waiting for you. 

Waukee

The quintessential hometown, Waukee has fantastic schools, safe neighborhoods, miles of trails, ever-expanding parks and amenities, and an abundance of friendly people. Rapid development is bringing new personal and professional services, retail, and entertainment to the area. (In fact, Waukee is the fastest-growing large city in Iowa!) You’ll enjoy “Good Living” in Waukee, especially if you’re living in our Glynn Village neighborhood!
