Elliott offers small-town ease with room to grow in eastern Montgomery County. Minutes from Red Oak and a straight shot to Griswold, it’s a convenient base for commuters and remote workers alike. Outdoor time comes naturally—Viking Lake State Park provides lakeside trails, fishing, and shaded campgrounds, while the Wabash Trace Nature Trail invites long rides and birding across the Loess Hills. Families and friends gather for school events, youth sports, and community celebrations that make daily life feel connected and welcoming.
Families appreciate the strong support network. Students attend the Griswold Community School District, known for close-knit classrooms, ag education, and well-rounded extracurriculars. Lifelong learners tap programs through ISU Extension and Outreach Montgomery County, from 4-H to gardening workshops, and nearby Iowa Western Community College offers short-term certificates and transfer degrees. A Red Oak Public Library card puts new releases, story times, and maker activities within minutes, and regional transit via the Southwest Iowa Transit Agency (SWITA) helps residents get to appointments and errands with ease.
Weekends can swing from quiet block parties to quirky day trips; the storied Villisca Axe Murder House in Villisca is a short drive, while Scandinavian heritage festivals enliven Stanton. Whether you’re seeking a starter home, an acreage, or a low-maintenance bungalow, Elliott delivers value, elbow room, and quick access to regional employers, healthcare, and parks. When it’s time to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a great local real estate agent to guide every step.
