What Locals Say about West Des Moines
- Ron M.

"Lived here for 15 years. People are nice. Homes are very nice. Trails are beautiful. Taxes are low and crime is way way low. If your going to live in Iowa this is the place. Pricing is higher but you get what you pay for. The city is constantly putting money back into its infrastructure as evident in the constant construction and maintenance yiu see through city. Many who come to live here seem to stay if that says anything."
