The area boasts a variety of home styles, including traditional Cape Cods, Craftsman, ranch-style, and contemporary new constructions, with properties ranging from modest 1960s homes to larger single-family residences. The neighborhood is served by highly rated schools such as North Ridge Elementary, Heritage Elementary School, Dallas Center Elementary, Dallas Center-Grimes Middle School, Dallas Center-Grimes Oak View, and Dallas Center-Grimes High School. Grimes offers numerous attractions, including 10 parks and three sports complexes, with facilities for baseball, softball, soccer, basketball, tennis, and sand volleyball.
