Outside, enjoy the deck overlooking a fully fenced backyard on a nearly quarter acre lot, plus a large two car detached garage. With a brick exterior, wood burning fireplace, and convenient location near the heart of Ankeny, this home offers the space and versatility that can be hard to find at this price point.

Southeast Ankeny, located between Oralabor Road and SE Delaware Avenue, is a suburban and commuter-friendly Ankeny neighborhood with newer subdivisions and big-sky prairie edges. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the SE Delaware Ave & Oralabor Rd corridor, where grocery plazas, local eateries, and daily-errand storefronts set a steady, on-the-go rhythm. Housing trends toward late-20th-century and newer builds with wide streets, sidewalks, and pocket greenspaces. Four Mile Creek Greenbelt traces a natural seam through the area, linking trails and open views. Weekend routines often orbit Prairie Ridge Sports Complex and nearby parks, balancing recreation with retail convenience.
