About Southwest
Johnston
Southwest Johnston, located between Interstate 80/35 and Saylorville Lake, is a residential and park-oriented Johnston neighborhood with curving newer subdivisions and broad trail corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Merle Hay Road and NW 86th Street corridor, where grocery storefronts, studios, and casual eateries line wide, car-friendly blocks. Sidewalks and multi-use paths connect cul-de-sacs to Greenbelt Park and the Beaver Creek Greenbelt, giving daily routines a strong outdoors cadence. Housing reads as late-20th-century through contemporary, with attached garages and tidy streetscapes. Campbells Nutrition anchors the local food scene with a market-and-café feel, while Johnston Town Center frames civic life with a modern, walkable plaza. Lake-adjacent open space and sports fields keep the pace active without feeling busy.
