Pleasant Hill offers everyday convenience and outdoor fun within easy reach. Just minutes from Des Moines in Polk County, the city delivers quick commutes, well-kept neighborhoods, and lakeside sunsets at Copper Creek Lake Park. Community life runs on friendly rituals—youth sports at local fields, seasonal festivals, and the lively “Chill on the Hill” summer concerts presented by the City of Pleasant Hill.
Miles of paved paths connect residents to nature, including the Gay Lea Wilson Trail, maintained by Polk County Conservation. Anglers cast for bass, walkers loop the water’s edge, and cyclists link to broader regional routes without ever loading a bike rack. Golfers can tee off at Copper Creek Golf Club, a scenic course that anchors neighborhood life with leagues, lessons, and event space. For weekend thrills, family favorites like Adventureland Resort and the iconic Iowa State Fair are just a short drive away.
Education shines in the Southeast Polk Community School District, known for strong academics, robust arts and activities, and modern facilities that support learners from kindergarten through graduation. Housing choices range from townhomes near trailheads to single-family homes on quiet cul-de-sacs, with local dining and everyday retail close by.
