Why Live in Newton

Newton, Iowa, located 34 miles east of Des Moines, is a small town with a rich history and diverse economy. Originally a coal mining town, Newton transitioned to manufacturing in the 20th century, largely thanks to the Maytag Corporation. Although Maytag left in 2007, Newton has successfully diversified its economy with companies like TPI Composites, which manufactures wind turbine blades. The town features a mix of centrally located bungalows, traditional-style homes, midcentury ranch-style and split-level homes, and larger homes built in the 2000s. The Newton Housing Initiative encourages new home developments with cash incentives. The city has five parks, including Maytag Park, which hosts the public pool and Fred Maytag Bowl. Other attractions include Westwood Golf Course, Newton Arboretum & Botanical Gardens, and Iowa Speedway for Nascar and IndyCar races. The downtown area, anchored by the Jasper County Courthouse, offers various pubs, restaurants, and bars. Newton Community School District serves the city, and Des Moines Area Community College has a branch at Legacy Plaza. Commuters can reach Des Moines in about 34 miles via Interstate 80, and Des Moines International Airport is 40 miles away. Crime rates in Newton are lower than the national average, with property crimes decreasing by 41% between 2019 and 2023. The town also has emergency preparedness measures, including monthly siren tests and storm spotter training.
