"I’ve lived here for 14 yrs, but we are looking for hassle-free living in a townhome. Johnston city planners don’t seem to be involved in new construction/developments, which are still going up in clusters sprawled throughout the city limits. Townhomes are being developed in specific areas where its townhouse after townhouse, which feels like it will look trashy over time. They should use Ankeny’s approach of mixing townhomes in with single family. The homes are vintage and neighborhoods are planned for walk-ability to shopping, entertainment and elementary schools. So lovely."
