Make the Most of Your Clive Stay

Greenbelt living

Clive defines itself through the 11.3-mile Greenbelt Trail, a continuous park and trail system that functions as both the city's recreational spine and social connector. This paved multi-use path winds through woodlands and wetlands, linking residential neighborhoods to gathering spaces like Greenbelt Landing, where summer brings the annual Music Festival and community celebrations. The trail offers a rare suburban amenity where morning runs transition seamlessly into afternoon explorations.

Dining and business convenience

The University Avenue corridor serves as the city's commercial heart, with options from Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant's Napa-style tasting room to Table 128's seasonal New American cuisine. Business travelers appreciate the concentration of premium hotels near MercyOne West Des Moines Medical Center and convenient I-35/I-80 interchange positioning. The nearby Glen Oaks Country Club features a Tom Fazio-designed course consistently ranked among Iowa's finest.

Gateway positioning

Clive's location 12 miles from Des Moines International Airport makes it an efficient base for exploring central Iowa. Day trips reach Winterset's covered bridges in 35 minutes or Pella's Dutch heritage sites within an hour. The city's "Distinct by Nature" identity reflects its successful integration of natural landscapes into suburban life, balancing outdoor recreation with metropolitan accessibility.
