Book a free consultationWhy $4,895Urbandale’s 2020 Census population was 45,580, split across Polk and Dallas counties. The city incorporated in 1917 and still has a large inventory of established single-family streets, plus newer residential growth west of the interstate. City materials highlight places such as Walnut Creek and Walker Johnston Regional Parks, Living History Farms, and commercial corridors along 86th Street, 100th Street and Douglas Avenue. Buyers often describe Urbandale as “between everything”: close to Merle Hay and downtown access on the east, with newer housing and employment nodes toward the Urban Loop on the west.
That geography shows up in housing stock. Older east and central neighborhoods tend to be mature lots and mid-century through late-20th-century homes. West-side and Dallas County portions include more recent subdivisions and a wider spread of price points. The city’s comprehensive planning work also talks about preserving single-family character while allowing more housing variety over time. For a seller, the practical point is simple: your likely buyer, your comps and your prep list depend on which side of Urbandale you are on.
Urbandale is uncommon in the metro because portions of six public school districts lie inside city limits: Urbandale Community School District (the entire district is within the city), Waukee, Johnston, West Des Moines, Dallas Center–Grimes and Des Moines Independent. That is a selling detail, not trivia. Two houses a mile apart can sit in different districts. We verify the district before the MLS goes live.
