A historic downtown district, expansive parks, and a scenic river all give Marshalltown a unique identity in the landscape of Iowa. Less than an hour northeast of Des Moines, Marshalltown was described by the man who settled it as the prettiest place in Iowa.
Marshalltown’s downtown district gives you the ability to live in historic apartment buildings at much more affordable prices than the big city. Locally owned restaurants like Zeno’s and buzzing bars line Main St. and Center St. As you move out of the city center you’ll find intimate suburban communities offering historic homes and modern apartment complexes.
On the west side of Marshalltown lies Legion Memorial Park and Elmwood Country, providing golf players with plenty of holes to perfect their swing. Riverview Park lies north, and is a prime spot to bring your dog or have a picnic with a view of the Iowa River.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
