Somer Street, located between Duff Avenue and Grand Avenue, is a residential and campus-adjacent Ames neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a steady bike-and-foot rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Duff Ave & Lincoln Way crossroads, where late-night slices, coffee counters, and storefront signs keep the sidewalks active. Community pillars include the Octagon Center for the Arts, the Ames History Museum, and the Ames Public Library. Housing reads as a mix of mid-century ranches, compact bungalows, and small apartment buildings with tidy setbacks. Bandshell lawns and shaded paths at Bandshell Park set a relaxed outdoor cadence. Cyclists and walkers trace the spine of the Ames Main Street Cultural District for galleries, murals, and seasonal street life.

Village Residential District
The Village Residential District is intended to allow for integration of uses and design with greater potential for social and physical interaction through a village concept. These villages will be adapted to the emerging suburban landscape by creating living areas designed to ensure the development of the land along the lines of traditional neighborhoods. This District utilizes the urban conventions prevalent in the United States from colonial times until the 1940s.
