Clive is northwest of Des Moines and has been recognized for its Greenbelt Park and Trail System in the community.
Before it was the modern, family-friendly suburb it is today, Clive got its humble beginnings as a mining and railroad town. Many small businesses reside here, especially along 86th Street. University Avenue has a ton of department stores, book shops, and grocery stores. You’ll also find the Valley West Mall and Shoppes at Three Fountains on University, too.
Residents of Clive enjoy having Interstate 35 just a few short minutes from their affordable apartments. Many locals like to play golf at the nearby courses, or take the kids to the living history museum just north of the city.
