Somerseby, a thoughtful pocket of north-side living in Ankeny, blends newer homes, sidewalk-lined streets, and quick connections to everyday conveniences. Commuters appreciate the easy access to regional routes and the short hop into Des Moines, while weekends tend to revolve around neighborhood parks, bike rides, and friendly cul-de-sac gatherings. Being in Polk County also means abundant countywide amenities without sacrificing a relaxed, residential feel.
Families are drawn to the strong reputation of the Ankeny Community School District, with north-side pathways that lead many students to Ankeny Centennial High School. Youth sports, arts programming, and competitive academics are easy to plug into, and the drive to practices, recitals, and games is refreshingly short. Daily errands are simple, too: grocery options, local services, and medical care sit just minutes from most driveways.
Leisure time offers plenty of variety. Golfers can be on the first tee at Otter Creek Golf Course in minutes, while shoppers and diners gravitate to Prairie Trail and the walkable mix of eateries and events at The District at Prairie Trail. With neighborhood trails linking to broader city paths, it’s easy to trade the car for a stroller, bike, or jog.
