I'd much rather drive to the amenities than drive an hour to work every day. I'd also much rather live in Pella than on the east side of Des Moines, which is really your only option unless you want to drive through (or around) the city every day.
I drove from downtown Des Moines to Pella for a year and it was awful.

East side of Des Moines proper? No, I wouldn’t live there. But Altoona, Carlisle, Bondurant, etc are perfectly fine and have some nice new neighborhoods.
