Just moved to Grimes a couple months ago and love it! The town is adorable and has a rustic look to it. I have friends who have lived here for years and love the schools, neighborhoods, and nearby shops. Grimes's location is also near the Menards, Aldi, and Walmart so its always easy to shop. There is also a HyVee scheduled to be built.
Grimes is a booming suburb of Des Moines. They have amazing schools & the kindness of the community is hands down incredible. If you want a growing city where it still has a small town feel close to the Capitol, Grimes is the place for you!
