Join the Opening List →Drive through Ankeny and the first thing you notice is how much of it is new. That shapes what a cleaning visit needs to do here, with less attention to aged finishes and more to square footage, glass and the dust that newer homes still collect.
About 63 percent of Ankeny's housing was built in 2000 or later, and about 41 percent has gone up since 2010. The median year built is 2006, a full 45 years newer than the median home in Des Moines itself. About 71 percent of homes are owner occupied.
The rest of the housing is rented, and the city keeps a close eye on it. Ankeny requires every rental unit to be registered and inspected by city staff, every two years, whether it is an apartment, a single family rental or a duplex. The District at Prairie Trail adds a distinct address to the mix, with its own winter parking rules.
Newer homes rarely suffer from decades of buildup, so the first priority is keeping up with their size. A larger floor plan still takes time, even when nothing looks especially dirty. Fine dust settles on blinds, vents and fan blades, and those are all items a One-Time Deep Clean handles. A Recurring House Clean then keeps kitchens, baths and floors steady.
Landlords and tenants have a different concern. With inspections every two years, a unit needs to stay presentable through the cycle. A Moving Clean between tenants takes care of the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets.
Weather still finds these new homes. On August 10, 2020, the Ankeny Airport recorded a 78 mph gust during the derecho that crossed central Iowa. Storms like that push dirt through gaps and leave grit on sills and tracks, even where the house itself comes through fine.
Ankeny is stricter on snow than its big neighbor. Property owners must clear snow from sidewalks on or next to their property within 24 hours after it stops falling. In The District at Prairie Trail, on-street parking is banned from 2 to 6 a.m. when a snow ordinance is declared, which matters for anyone coming and going early. Inside, the winter guide covers what to do about the salt that results.
Garbage works by subscription in Ankeny, with each household contracting with one of several private haulers. Iowa bans yard waste from landfills, so check with your hauler about how it handles those materials. If you are new in town, setting up a hauler should come early on the list, because a cleaning visit leaves its trash with your own carts.
