Macrae Highlands, located between Meredith Drive and Douglas Avenue, is a residential and suburban Urbandale neighborhood with curving streets and mature trees. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Meredith Drive and 86th Street corridor, where a steady stream of local eateries, coffee counters, and everyday services sets the pace. Housing reads as late-20th-century Midwestern—split-levels, ranches, and tidy two-stories with generous setbacks and attached garages. Walnut Creek and nearby greenways shape the geography with shaded paths and pocket parks. Walker Johnston Park adds ballfields, courts, and open lawn that keep the area active from morning through dusk.
