Centered on rolling prairie just south of Des Moines, 50125 (Indianola) blends small-town warmth and a family-friendly feel with a lively college influence from Simpson College. A historic downtown square hosts locally owned shops, the National Balloon Museum, and summer performances tied to the Des Moines Metro Opera, while four-season weather brings snowy winters, blossoming springs, and warm, breezy summers ideal for porch sitting and park time. Daily life is easy with Hy-Vee, Fareway, and a Walmart Supercenter nearby; coffee at Scooter’s and local cafés; comfort bites at Crouse Café; and craft pints at West Hill Brewing Company. Green spaces abound, including Buxton Park Arboretum, Pickard Park, the Summerset Trail, and Lake Ahquabi State Park for hiking, biking, paddling, and picnics; leashed pups are common on trails and patios. According to recent Zillow Rental Manager market trends, the median monthly rent has hovered around the low $1,200s, with typical listings ranging roughly $850–$1,600 in recent months. Commuters appreciate quick access on Highway 65/69 and Iowa 92.
