    The area is very unique and diverse. The community is extremely close and everyone minds their own business. The best part of it is that everything is with 20min driving distance, even the very outskirts of town! Love it!

    The weather here has a nice balance between cold and warm. There are tornadoes, but they're usually affecting smaller towns outside of Des Moines. Usually severe cold weather and possibly a few bad thunderstorms are the only concerns. Even then, it isn't as relatively frequent and recovery from them is fairly quick.
    Des Moines is still developing. There are a select variety of jobs and opportunities for income, however, it doesn't compete with other grander cities. The select variety helps cover almost anybody's job preference though.
