About the Community
Clive is a well-regarded suburb immediately west of Des Moines, offering easy access to the amenities of a major Midwestern city alongside the livability of a tight-knit community — strong public schools, low cost of living relative to coastal markets, and a robust local restaurant and arts scene. Des Moines consistently ranks among the most affordable and livable metros in the country, with a thriving economy, minimal commute times, and four-season recreation including trail systems, lakes, and proximity to the broader Iowa countryside.
