Why Live in Carter Lake

Carter Lake, Iowa, uniquely positioned west of the Missouri River, is a small community just north of downtown Omaha and near Eppley Airfield. Despite its proximity to the airport, noise levels are reportedly manageable, contributing to its appeal as a generational community where families have lived for decades. The area features several waterside parks, including Maybury Park with its playground and fishing jetty, and Carter Lake Park, known for its splash pad and annual fishing derby. The local Prairie Flower Casino is a significant employer. Carter Lake's real estate market is brisk, with homes selling faster than the national average. Housing styles range from ranch-style and Neo Traditional homes to a mobile home subdivision. The community lacks a grocery store, prompting residents to shop in nearby Council Bluffs, though a small shopping center offers essentials and local favorite Jonesys taco house. For recreation, the Carter Lake Community Center provides a fitness center and library, while the skatepark and baseball facilities cater to sports enthusiasts. Carter Lake Days, an annual event featuring a parade and fireworks, highlights the community spirit. Although some parks experience issues with litter, the grounds crew maintains cleanliness, ensuring the parks remain a central part of community life.
