As Waukee continues to be one of Iowa’s fastest-growing cities, the demand for thoughtfully designed multi-family housing has never been greater. For developers looking to capitalize on this growth, Kettlestone Lakes presents a rare opportunity: premier multi-family parcels located within a walkable, mixed-use community that blends convenience, accessibility, and lifestyle amenities.

A Thriving Community Designed for Connectivity

Kettlestone Lakes was designed with intentionality—to provide not just housing, but a place where people want to live, work, and play. Multi-family developments located here benefit from close proximity to everything a modern tenant wants: walking trails, lakeside views, entertainment venues, coffee shops, groceries, and medical offices—all within walking distance.

This type of accessibility aligns perfectly with lifestyle-driven renting, particularly for young professionals, retirees looking to downsize, and families who want low-maintenance living in an amenity-rich environment. With bikeable routes, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks, and future retail and dining destinations steps away, this is more than a development—it’s a neighborhood.

Strategic Location With Regional Reach

Kettlestone Lakes is located just minutes from both downtown Waukee and West Des Moines, offering easy access to employers, healthcare, and cultural centers. Interstate 80 and Grand Prairie Parkway put tenants within 20 minutes of downtown Des Moines while maintaining the peace and quality of suburban life.

The surrounding residential growth in Waukee continues to outpace regional averages. With over 1,000 housing starts annually and a school district that’s drawing families from across the state, Waukee’s momentum is strong—and sustained.

Zoning Flexibility and Modern Infrastructure

Whether you’re planning luxury apartments, townhome clusters, or medium-density rental communities, Kettlestone Lakes offers flexible zoning options designed to support a range of residential styles. All parcels come development-ready with access to utilities, established roadways, and scenic infrastructure such as ponds and greenways.

Nearby amenities such as The Iowa Clinic, Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh, and Raising Cane’s create a complete ecosystem for residents who prioritize access to services without long commutes. In addition, the city of Waukee has demonstrated ongoing support for quality multi-family housing to ensure that residential offerings keep pace with workforce needs.

A Built-In Advantage for Leasing and Retention

Location is often the deciding factor in rental decisions—and Kettlestone Lakes has it in abundance. Leasing professionals and property managers will find the marketing advantages nearly built-in, with high daily traffic, outstanding signage potential, and a vibrant surrounding atmosphere that sells itself.

Community events, future green space developments, and lifestyle programming will further support tenant satisfaction and retention, giving multi-family projects a distinct edge in a competitive rental market.

With unmatched access to amenities, regional connectivity, and growing demand, Kettlestone Lakes is the clear choice for multi-family development in Waukee. Developers who want to create housing that enhances the community and meets the market should act now. These are parcels with potential—and a location that promises lasting value.
