"Grimes Funtastic Days in June. Small town feel where people are polite and respectful. I teach at DC-G and the area is very protective of their schools, kids, teachers and so on. Big sense of community!"

"Grimes has a great small town feel, nestled just outside of the Iowa "big city" fun. With amazing schools and yearly festivals like the Governor's Days Festival in June, you'll find plenty of activities to keep your family entertained. A new YMCA is planned, and more local business are finding their home in Grimes. The Radish and The Corn Patch will fill your belly and your soul with their delicious and comforting food. We almost settled our family in Grimes, and have never taken off our radar for our future home!"

"I moved here 15 years ago when the town had only about 3500 people, it has grown to over 8000 now and I like the slower pace of good people coming into town."

"I moved to this little town 13 years ago and ave never regretted it. There are many persons moving in but you can walk anywhere without fear and the bike paths are at almost every corner of the town. IF you are looking for one of the best school districts, child friendly and an overall great place to raise a family or retire in peace."
