Super safe and tight-knit community! Great selection for food options all around town, and lots of cute boutiques and shops downtown.
Pella Iowa is a great place for a family. Now because of its safety and great school district the price of living is a bit more. Along with that Pella's 'night life' is quite boring. Most stores are closed by 7 or 8, and everything uptown is closed on Sundays. Because Pella is such an enclosed town there is not much diversity, most of the population is white and some sort of denomination of Christianity.
Pella is an incredible place with people who love to display their Dutch heritage. The buildings around town are all designed with a Dutch front in order to give off a Holland feeling. Every year in May, there is a weekend dedicated to celebrating our Dutch heritage. There are three parades each day for three days and more food than someone should eat. No place is perfect though. Living in this little town costs a lot of money and usually that is what drive people out. Recently, the town ha been stepping away from the older looking buildings and replacing them with parking areas and large apartments that do not look Dutch at all. My hope is that this town goes back to the little buildings that make this place feel like home to those who are only visiting/
