    "Dislike: Not everyone keeps their dog on a leash Like: town is just big enough to get a few mile walk in, but small enough that you’re never far from home"
  • Erin
    "Winterset always has a lot going on! Everything is close in town, we love living here. Small town, close to Des Moines, very convenient! "
  • Anna P
    "random kids run around in my yard when it's not winter, not good when you actually have a fence, they help themselves, and you can hear them outside your bathroom window sometimes. Other dog owners are great, just not responsible parents."
  • Cnolte1410
    "Under 5 minutes via car. Would be an easy bike ride or walk. Most homeowners are considerate regarding snow and ice removal. City needs to work on snow removal from streets!"
  • Cnolte1410
    "Nice family focused neighborhood. Community pool is within easy walking distance. Neighborhood is nice mix of different ages."
  • lindy g.
    "we call Winterset "Mayberry" since so many people are walking...some with their dogs. we experience no crime for the most part. very friendly neighbors."
