McBride is a residential neighborhood in Van Meter, a small community west of Des Moines, set among the gently rolling fields and open skies of central Iowa. The area has a four-season climate, with warm summers, cold winters and changing foliage in between. Van Meter’s historic downtown and the Raccoon River add local character, while nearby parks and river corridors offer space for walking and outdoor recreation. Everyday dining and coffee options are limited within the neighborhood, with a wider selection and more shopping available in neighboring communities and the Des Moines area. The quieter setting makes driving the most practical way to reach many services; regional roads connect Van Meter with nearby towns and the metro. The neighborhood’s appeal lies in its open surroundings and small-town pace, with outdoor spaces close at hand.
