Centered in Story County just south of Ames, 50247 offers small-town Iowa living with four true seasons, big-sky sunsets, and prairie breezes. The town sits on a prized cycling nexus where the High Trestle Trail meets the Heart of Iowa Nature Trail, making evening rides to the iconic illuminated bridge a favorite. Expect friendly neighborhood parks, ball fields, and dog-friendly paths, plus quiet streets and community events like summer fun days. Daily conveniences include a local bar-and-grill and cafes, quick grocery runs to Fareway in nearby Huxley, fitness at the Ballard fitness center, and broader shopping, coffee roasters, and farmers markets in Ames; bigger-box options are in Ankeny.
