    "A great community to raise a family. The school system is large enough to offer a variety of educational and extra curricular opportunities found in bigger schools but small enough to allow each child to participate if they choose and smaller class sizes to allow teachers to give more personal attention to each child. Recreation choices are plentiful being situated between two lakes, minutes from multiple biking/hiking trails, golf course, equestrian center and multiple state and federal parks. Commute to almost anywhere in Des Moines in 20-30 mins. "
