Growing Developments in the Des Moines Metro Area


We love Des Moines, and at Kimberley Development we are proud to have helped so many families build their dream homes here in Central Iowa over the past 46 years.  Whether you are a longtime resident or considering moving to Central Iowa for the first time, our wish is that you will find as much joy in our community and its surrounding towns as we have. According to a recent article in Forbes, not only is Iowa a great place to live, work, and raise a family, it’s also one of the most cost-efficient places to live. Iowa is recognized as one of the top places to build a home because we have have top-quality education, affordable homes, low crime rate and much more!

Growing Population

Des Moines has topped the charts in many top publications in recent years including Forbes magazine naming Des Moines the #1 city in the nation for business and careers, as well as the #1 place to raise a family. The Greater Des Moines area has also been the fastest-growing metro in the Midwest, growing by 9,700 residents or 1.4% from April 2020 to July 2021, according to population estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau. That is twice the rate of the second fastest growing metro in the Midwest, Indianapolis, which had a population increase of 0.7%.
