We are proud to be part of the Ankeny community!

Big news for Ankeny! 🙌 U.S. News & World Report ranked Ankeny No. 4 Best Place to Live in the country and No. 1 in Iowa for 2026-2027. Ankeny moved up from No. 18 nationally last year.

U.S. News evaluated more than 850 of the country’s top cities based on how well they meet consumers' living expectations, with measures including value, job market, desirability and quality of life.

We’re proud of this recognition and the community that continues to make Ankeny such a great place to live, work and raise a family. Thank you to the residents, businesses, schools, community partners and City staff who help make this possible every day!
