Shadow Creek West

Shadow Creek West is a premier residential neighborhood situated at the intersection of Waukee, Clive, and Urbandale — one of the most sought-after locations in the Des Moines metro. The broader Shadow Creek development has seen nearly 600 single-family lots developed along with 120 active adult 55+ townhomes, creating a vibrant multi-generational community.

The neighborhood gained recognition as the site of the 2024 Home Show Expo, showcasing exceptional new construction by award-winning builders including Nico Construction, which won Best Craftsmanship at the event. Walk-out lots with pond views and mature tree lines offer privacy and natural beauty that's increasingly rare in new developments.

Families are drawn to Shadow Creek West for its proximity to Northwest Waukee High School — the $103 million state-of-the-art facility that opened in 2021 — and multiple excellent elementary schools. The nearby 66-acre Triumph Park offers diamond fields, a fishing pier, playgrounds, and open green space perfect for active families.

Related neighborhoods include Landing at Shadow Creek (168 single-family lots completed in 2016) and Village at Shadow Creek by Greenland Homes, all feeding into the award-winning Waukee Community School District.
