Swan blends quiet, small-town living with quick connections to the amenities of Des Moines. Set in Marion County, the community sits within an easy drive of Knoxville, Pleasantville, and Indianola, making errands, classes, and ballgames simple to reach.
Outdoor time comes naturally here. Spend a sunny afternoon on the water at Lake Red Rock, or climb the iconic observation tower at Cordova Park, part of Marion County Conservation. Hikers and cyclists enjoy the trail network at Summerset State Park, and wildlife enthusiasts can explore tallgrass prairie and spot bison at the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge. For high-octane fun, race nights at Knoxville Raceway are close enough for an easy evening out.
Families typically tap nearby schools in Pleasantville and Knoxville, with the personal feel of smaller class settings and plenty of extracurriculars. Community learning continues at the Pleasantville Public Library, while everyday healthcare is covered by Knoxville Hospital & Clinics. Housing ranges from classic farmsteads to newer builds on acreage, and the commute options make country quiet compatible with city careers.
