Top reasons to live at Danamere Farms in Carlisle, IA

When you’re looking for the perfect place to plant your roots, there are so many factors to consider. At Hubbell Homes, we believe that a beautiful new home isn’t enough when it comes to your future — you deserve a hometown that checks off all the boxes on your list too.

How about a family-friendly town that feels like home the minute you see it? Say hello to warm & welcoming Carlisle, the one-of-a-kind city that is home to our Danamere Farms community! Talk about two things that go great together! We can’t wait for you to experience the magic for yourself, so take a look at our top reasons you’ll love living here:

LOCATION. 

This quaint community, nestled off the Highway 5 bypass, is less than 25 minutes from downtown Des Moines. Surrounded by rolling hills, pristine woodlands, and the valleys of two rivers, Carlisle is the ideal place for your family (and your business!) to thrive. 

FAMILY-FRIENDLY. 

With top-rated schools and clean, safe neighborhoods, it’s no wonder families love Carlisle. The city also has a great parks and recreation department, including youth sports, the state-of-the-art Aquatics Center, the historic Scotch Ridge Nature Park, and a fun Summer Recreation program. 

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES. 

As part of a dynamic and growing metro area, there are numerous opportunities to achieve a fulfilling lifestyle here. The recently completed Hwy 5/Hwy65 Des Moines beltway system gives businesses in Carlisle immediate access to the I35/80 Interstate. And the Des Moines International airport is only 15 minutes away. 

QUALITY OF LIFE. 

Carlisle has a population of just 4,496 and is a very affordable place to live. The city is only a short drive from local destinations such as Summerset Winery, Blank Park Zoo, the Science Center of Iowa, and downtown events such as the nationally renowned Des Moines Arts Festival and Downtown Farmers Market.

Danamere Farms in Carlisle is just the spot if you‘re looking for a small-town feel with big-city access. Just south of Des Moines, Danamere Farms combines modern conveniences with a picturesque location. The community includes bike and walking trails and is located within the Carlisle Community School District. There is a 5-year full tax abatement, and 100% USDA Rural Development Financing available.

The whole process from purchase to construction was very smooth. Everyone was helpful. If there were any problems, they were taken care of right away and all my questions were answered. Superintendent Greg was great to work with. I really like the layout of my house.
