It’s a very good community to be in. Everybody looks out for each other, and it’s a very safe environment. There’s a ton of opportunities regardless of the fact that we live in Iowa. It’s fairly affordable and a great place to grow up in.
Johnston is a wonderful suburb area. You are in drivIng distance to anything you could ever need by 25 minutes. This community has worked hard to make it look beautiful as well. In spring there are flowers being planted and store fronts are made to look clean and updated. The area is middle class to upper class. So availability of low income housing is close to none. AllowIng cheaper housing would give young families and adults a chance to enjoy this community. This community could be more diverse in the residents who live here but I can see that growth happening in the future.
Overall I would highly recommend Johnston to any person looking to move!

I live in a beautiful part of town. Right by school, actually, and the sunrises are the prettiest thing you’ll ever see. My neighbors are wonderful and I live really close to my friends. The shopping takes time some days but it’s fine because we usually get ice cream at the end of it at our local ice cream parlor. The teachers at school are very helpful and intelligent people, who truly care if you do well or not. I’m conclusion, Johnston is an excellent place to live, and I don’t think I’ve lived anywhere that I’ve felt happier.
