What You'll LOVE in Norwalk
Norwalk's ideal location just south of Des Moines means it's close to plenty of big-city opportunities—but this growing town has ample Midwestern charm of its own. In fact, it's also been ranked as one of the safest cities in Iowa for five years running! Here are some of our favorite things about living in Norwalk.
Top-notch parks and recreation
If your idea of fun involves exploring local greenways, unwinding at the local park, or just taking in the beauty of nature, Norwalk is the community for you. Here, residents can enjoy ten parks (including an off-leash dog park), an aquatic center, sports courts, and even an outdoor ice skating rink.
Love golfing? You're in luck—Norwalk has three championship golf courses: Echo Valley Country Club, Warrior Run Golf Course, and Legacy Golf Club.
Plentiful shopping & dining
Norwalk might be just minutes from the excitement of Des Moines, but this small town has its own unique culinary and retail scene that's worth scoping out. For all of your everyday needs, Norwalk has its own grocery, hardware, and discount stores, as well as a few gas stations and convenience marts.
Once you work up an appetite, be sure to try out one of the area's top eateries. Locals often recommend 804 Main Bar & Grill, Winn's Pizza and Steakhouse, or a sweet treat from Wendy's Ice Cream Shop.
Top-notch public schools
Norwalk public school students attend Norwalk Community Schools, which educates over 3,200 children and operates five institutions across town. The district boats a low 17:1 student-to-teacher ratio, as well as a high graduation rate of 97%. To top it all off, over 80% of NCS students are proficient in reading and math.
Norwalk is also home to a few private schools, including Main Street School and Norwalk Christian Academy.
