Modern homes, top elementary schools, and welcoming neighborhoods along West Des Moines' growing western corridor. A smart choice along the corridor.
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.
Schools, trails, parks, and shopping, thoughtfully planned and connected
Westridge, Brookview, and Woodland Hills Elementary are embedded within neighborhoods, many within walking or biking distance. School assignment goes by address, so confirm it with the district.
Open concepts, main-floor laundry, mudrooms, and 4-bedroom layouts. Many basements are ready for finishing.
Connected to regional trail systems for biking, walking, and running. Trail routes to schools, parks, and neighbors on quiet streets.
Meadow View Park, Jaycee Park, Knolls Park, and neighborhood green spaces throughout. Playgrounds, sports fields, and room to explore.
Minutes from Jordan Creek Town Center's shopping and dining, yet removed from the bustle. Quick access to I-80 and downtown Des Moines when needed.
Neighborhoods where neighbors know each other and block parties happen.

EP True corridor crosses WDM and Waukee school district lines. I help buyers verify exact boundaries before purchasing.
Smart value for families prioritizing schools and modern living
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.
As a REALTOR® SRES® CPCU®, I flag insurability concerns and connect EP True families with a licensed insurance producer
Most EP True homes feature modern electrical, plumbing, and roofing that may qualify for insurance discounts. I flag these features and connect you with licensed insurance producers to explore potential savings.
Family homes here often feature finished basements for playrooms and media rooms. Standard policies may undercover these spaces. I flag this and connect you with licensed insurance producers to make sure your full living area is properly covered.
Western West Des Moines topography means understanding water table and drainage. I flag sump pump systems and water-backup exposure and connect you with licensed insurance producers to discuss appropriate coverage.
As families grow, so does their stuff—sports equipment, electronics, home office setups. I flag when your coverage needs may be changing and connect you with licensed insurance producers to adjust limits.
