About Perry

A Place to Slow Down and Settle In

There’s something refreshing about Perry, Iowa. Maybe it’s the historic downtown filled with character, the community events that actually bring neighbors together, or the balance of small-town living with easy access to the Des Moines metro. Whatever it is, Perry has quietly become one of those Iowa communities that feels welcoming from the moment you arrive.

Convenient Access to Central Iowa

Located along the North Raccoon River in Dallas County, Perry offers residents a slower pace without sacrificing convenience. Des Moines is less than an hour away, making Perry appealing for commuters, remote workers, families, and retirees who want more space, lower stress, and a stronger sense of community.

Historic Downtown Charm

One of Perry’s biggest draws is its walkable historic downtown. More than 30 downtown buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, giving the city a timeless charm that feels authentic rather than manufactured. Murals, sculptures, local shops, restaurants, and community events create a downtown atmosphere that feels alive year-round. Perry has even been recognized as one of Iowa’s “Great Places” because of its combination of history, recreation, arts, and culture.

Outdoor Recreation & Active Living

Outdoor recreation is also woven into everyday life here. Perry sits near extensive trail systems and parks, making it easy to spend weekends biking, walking, or simply enjoying Iowa’s natural scenery. Residents enjoy access to nearby trails, green spaces, and recreation opportunities that support an active lifestyle without the congestion of larger cities.

A Community-Centered Lifestyle

Families are often drawn to Perry because of its community-centered feel. The city has a diverse population, long-standing traditions, local festivals, and neighborhoods where people still know each other by name. There’s a sense of pride here that shows up in everything from community events to downtown revitalization efforts.

Why Renters Choose Perry

For renters looking for a community with historic character, affordability, outdoor recreation, and easy access to Central Iowa, Perry offers a lifestyle that’s difficult to replicate in larger markets.
