Welcome to Urbandale, a booming suburb that manages to feel spacious while sitting right at the heart of the metro. It’s got a massive economic footprint, thanks to major corporate hubs and the bustling "Urban Loop" development area, but it keeps a genuinely warm, neighborly vibe at its core.

There is always plenty to do right in your own backyard. Urbandale is home to Living History Farms, a massive outdoor museum that’s a staple for family weekends, and the iconic Machine Shed restaurant right down the road. If you love the outdoors, you can explore over 36 miles of connected neighborhood trails, check out the massive playground and inclusive sports spots at Walker Johnston Park, or head over to Lions Park for a splash pad afternoon. Plus, Urbandale’s massive 4th of July celebration and parade are legendary around the metro.

Urbandale gives you everything you want in a modern suburb: top-tier schools, low municipal taxes, and a super easy commute to anywhere in Des Moines. It’s just a highly comfortable, active, and friendly place to settle down.
