Parkview, located between Meredith Drive and Douglas Avenue, is a residential and park-adjacent Urbandale neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a greenbelt feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Meredith Drive corridor near 86th Street, where local eateries, small storefronts, and everyday errands create a steady, lived-in rhythm. Community touchstones include Machine Shed Restaurant, Living History Farms, and the Walker Johnston Park amphitheater calendar. Homes tend toward tidy one-level layouts with mature trees and generous setbacks. Sidewalk loops and pocket parks shape a walk-and-roll routine. Nearby trail links and recreation facilities keep the pace active without feeling busy.
