Built for Modern Families

The EP True Parkway corridor delivers what today's families need: modern floor plans, walkable schools, and space for everyone.

EP True Parkway runs through the heart of West Des Moines' western growth, with Westridge, Brookview, and Woodland Hills elementary schools along the corridor. This corridor represents thoughtful suburban development, with neighborhoods laid out around schools, trails, and parks.

Homes here range from the 1990s to brand-new construction, offering modern floor plans with open concepts, main-floor laundry, and 4-bedroom layouts. Unlike the Jordan Creek core's premium pricing, EP True provides similar school quality and newer construction at more accessible price points.

The corridor connects to extensive trail systems, parks, and recreational facilities. Schools and neighborhood parks are reachable by trail. It's suburban development that actually works—modern, convenient, and connected.

What Buyers Should Know

EP True delivers exceptional value: you get the same schools and newer construction as Jordan Creek proper, often at $50,000-$100,000 less. The trade-off? Slightly longer drive to Jordan Creek Town Center (5-8 minutes vs. walking distance). For most buyers, that's an easy trade.

The $320,000-$420,000 range offers the best selection of 4-bedroom, 2.5+ bath homes with finished basements. Competition is steady but less intense than the Jordan Creek core, giving buyers slightly more negotiating room.

Best Strategy: Identify your elementary school preference first. Westridge (WDMCS), Brookview (Waukee), and Woodland Hills (Waukee) each serve different areas. I help buyers map exact boundaries and target the right neighborhoods for their preferred school.
