Modern homes, top elementary schools, and family-friendly neighborhoods along West Des Moines' growing western corridor. The smart choice for growing 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, connecting families to some of the district's best elementary schools—Westridge, Brookview, and Woodland Hills. This corridor represents thoughtful suburban development where neighborhoods were designed with families in mind.
Homes here range from the 1990s to brand-new construction, offering modern floor plans with open concepts, main-floor laundry, and the 4-bedroom layouts families need. 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. Kids bike to school. Families walk to neighborhood parks. It's the suburban ideal that actually works—modern, convenient, and designed around how families really live.
Everything families need, thoughtfully planned and connected
Westridge, Brookview, and Woodland Hills Elementary are embedded within neighborhoods. Many families walk or bike to school—building independence and community connections.
Open concepts, main-floor laundry, mudrooms, and 4-bedroom layouts designed for how families actually live. Basements ready for finishing as kids grow.
Connected to regional trail systems for biking, walking, and running. Safe routes to schools, parks, and neighbors. Kids learn independence 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 kids play together, parents know each other, and block parties happen. The community connections that define childhood memories.

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 for families: you get the same top-rated 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 families, 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—exactly what growing families need. 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 families map exact boundaries and target the right neighborhoods for their preferred school.
My 10+ years of property insurance expertise helps EP True families protect their investment
Most EP True homes feature modern electrical, plumbing, and roofing that qualify for insurance discounts. I help buyers identify and document these savings—often $200-$400+ annually.
Family homes here often feature finished basements for playrooms and media rooms. Standard policies may undercover these spaces. I ensure proper coverage for your full living area.
Western West Des Moines topography means understanding water table and drainage. I identify homes with proper sump pump systems and recommend appropriate water backup coverage.
As families grow, so does their stuff—sports equipment, electronics, home office setups. I help families right-size coverage and understand when limits need adjusting.
