Deer Creek puts you on the quiet, residential edge of Urbandale while keeping regional conveniences within easy reach. With quick routes to I‑35/80 via 100th Street, commuting across Des Moines, Johnston, and Ankeny is straightforward, and weekend outings around Polk County come together without a long drive. Neighborhood streets feature newer construction and generous lots.
Outdoorsy residents tap into the Urbandale trail system that threads through neighborhoods and connects to destinations like Walker Johnston Park for open fields, playgrounds, and community events. Sidewalks, pocket green spaces, and broad skies give daily walks and evening bike rides a relaxed feel.
Families appreciate the school options. The area is primarily served by the Urbandale Community School District, though parts of northern Urbandale fall within the Johnston Community School District—confirm attendance lines using the district’s boundary maps. Weekends are easy with story times and hands-on programs at the Urbandale Public Library, while DART expands access to jobs, campuses, and entertainment across the metro. Everyday needs—from groceries to coffee—are close along Hickman Road and in nearby Clive.
