Attached garages
Townhomes with attached garages in Ankeny
Every home at The Pines has its own attached garage, one or two cars depending on the plan. Not a carport, not a detached row of stalls across the lot. You pull in and walk into your own house.
Why this is the search people keep running
Iowa has about five months where a garage stops being a nice extra. Ice on the windshield at seven in the morning, groceries in the rain, a place to put the bikes and the snowblower that is not your living room. Most rentals in this price range give you a numbered parking space and a scraper.
Because it is attached, the garage also does the thing a detached one cannot: there is a door from it into your home. That is the whole difference on a February morning with a kid and a car seat.
Snow removal and lawn care are included here too, so the driveway is not your problem either.
What else comes with every home
A washer and dryer in the home, central air conditioning, a gas fireplace, and a private balcony, deck or patio. Homes run from 1,360 to 1,800 square feet across four plans, in two and three bedrooms.
The neighborhood is 53 homes, which is small enough that it stays quiet and small enough that openings are limited. If nothing is listed, ask about the wait list.
Townhomes and single-level homes
The outer ring is two-story townhomes; the center buildings are large single-level homes, one upstairs and one down. Every one of them, either way, has the attached garage. See the three-bedroom plans or the neighborhood guide.
