Carlisle, Iowa is likely Iowa's best kept secret. The community comes together like no other, no matter the occasion. The festive 4th of July brings the entire town to the park, where we all stay for the duration of the day. Every Friday night, the football stands are completely filled. When tragedy strikes, the entire town can be found in the pew, praying. The town is filled with options for country boys and city slickers alike. The town is right in the middle of the Des Moines, Middle, and South Rivers, but also just a 15 minute drive to downtown Des Moines. Carlisle also has multiple parks and a very popular bike trail which leads to Banner, a state park with a lake. Most of the town is in the upper middle class or middle class; many people use the short commute to Des Moines for their employment. Carlisle, Iowa is a wonderful place!
There are not very many crimes reported in Carlisle. We are such a tight-knit community. We all work to improve/support our school/community in any way we can. Our community is growing so fast. More and more families have been moving to Carlisle recently. We are continuously growing. We have recently been opening more businesses too, lots of room to grow. I am excited to see how much we will improve ourselves/build in the next few years.
Carlisle is small.But what nice about it so quiet and peace good place to raise your family.People here are very and helpful. I lived here for 1 year I absolutely loved it here.
