Centered on Newton, zip code 50208 blends small-town warmth with easy I-80 access to Des Moines and Grinnell. Expect four true seasons, rolling prairie views, and a close-knit downtown around the Jasper County Courthouse, where local cafes, boutiques, and the Capitol II Theatre anchor community life. Historic Maytag roots show up at Legacy Plaza, nearby Maytag Park’s stone shelters and bandshell, and the Newton Arboretum & Botanical Gardens; weekend plans often include the Iowa Speedway, Westwood Golf Course, and miles of paved trails. Daily needs are simple with Hy-Vee, Fareway, and Walmart, plus a YMCA and independent fitness studios. The dining scene leans casual with pubs and a local brewery, and events like Newton Fest keep the calendar busy. Recent Zillow trends show a median rent around $1,000, with most listings roughly $800-$1,300. Generally family- and pet-friendly, you’ll find quiet streets, playgrounds, and an off-leash dog park.
