Honestly, I wouldn't be opposed to living in Pella, if I were you. As a director level employee, you'll be able to afford it and it's a nice community. With 2 major employers and a college, it's not your typical Iowa small town.

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.

Pella is a beautiful little town but the real state market is ridiculous.

My mom passed away in Pella's Hospice house a few years ago.
The thing that amazed me the most was when we went to Walmart.... 2 PM on a Tuesday, very few customers, 8 checkout lines open with a cashier at each register.

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.

Prairie City as well!

Altoona isn't great either, use to live there. Outside of the tracks and tracks of duplexes, it's kind of trashy in town.

Carlisle isn't really a straight shot to Pella so logistically it's problematic.

Prairie City is right on 163 and about halfway in between. It's not a bad place to live but it's pretty rural, small town.

I feel like you’ve missed the growth in these towns. And Carlisle is just off the bypass which connects you to 163.

Prairie City is growing and is an easy drive to Altoona which has anything you need. Not many bad options listed here. If you like golf, Copper Creek is a really nice neighborhood in Pleasant Hill.

I used to live there. The edge Altoona is nice if you don't mind rows and rows of cookie cutter houses and townhomes. But I used to live in town proper. It's still pretty much a small Iowa meth town.

Carlisle is still a good 15 minutes from 163. I'm trying to think about the minimum possible commute.
