Why Live in East Johnston

East Johnston, nestled along the Des Moines River, is a suburban neighborhood known for its family-friendly atmosphere and excellent school system. The area features a mix of 1970s ranch-style homes and newer constructions with asymmetrical details and steeply pitched roofs. While most properties lack functional fences, the spacious grassy front yards and shady oaks add to the neighborhood's charm. Major streets like Merle Hay Road are lined with sidewalks, though residential areas may require pedestrians to walk on the road due to the absence of sidewalks. The neighborhood is home to highly rated schools, including Lawson Elementary School, Summit Middle School, Johnston Middle School, and Johnston High School, all of which receive high marks for their academic and athletic programs. Dewey Park, centrally located, offers a soccer field, walking paths, and play structures, while the Sycamore Trails network provides scenic routes along the Des Moines River. Residents enjoy a variety of things to do, such as seasonal events at Johnston Town Center, dining at Trostel’s Greenbriar, and entertainment at Backpocket Pin & Pixel. For daily needs, Fareway Meat and Grocery is conveniently nearby. Commuting to Des Moines takes about 15 to 20 minutes by car, with the DART bus system also serving the area. The updated Beaver Creek Crossing Bridge and the Paul J. and Ida Trier House are notable local landmarks. East Johnston boasts a crime rate lower than the national average, contributing to its appeal as a safe and welcoming community.
