Murray offers small-town ease with quick connections to bigger-city options. Set in Clarke County, it sits a short drive from Osceola and along the US-34 corridor, with easy access to I-35 for commuters heading to Des Moines or Indianola. Residents value its friendly pace, walkable core, and a community calendar that reliably brings neighbors together.
Families are served by the Murray Community School District, known for tight-knit classrooms, active athletics, and opportunities that reach well beyond the school day. Outdoor time comes naturally here: fishing, trails, and paddling at Green Valley State Park in nearby Creston make easy weekend plans, while local ballfields and playgrounds keep evenings busy close to home. For lifelong learners, Southwestern Community College offers career and transfer programs, arts events, and continuing education just up the road.
Daily needs are met locally and in Osceola, with healthcare, big-box shopping, and dining within minutes. When travel calls, flights from Des Moines International Airport are straightforward, and a day downtown in Des Moines puts museums, concerts, and major-league amenities within reach.
Whether you’re seeking a first home on a roomy lot, space for a workshop, or a quieter landing spot with an uncomplicated commute, Murray delivers strong value and a neighborly spirit. If you’re ready to make a move here—or to list and move on—Agent Pronto can quickly introduce you to a top local real estate agent who knows the market inside and out.
