Deer Creek in it’s totality consisted of over 600 acres on the east side of Ankeny, Iowa. The plan featured a variety of land uses including commercial/residential mixed-use with a pedestrian oriented shopping street, high density residential, and medium density residential, oriented around a central public plaza, and single family lots ranging from 7,000 SF to 10,000 SF. Sites for a public school and parks were provided. Storm water was planned to be managed within the natural drainage corridors, which would also contain a trail system linking the community.

Phase 1 of Deer Creek Ankeny consisted of single and multi-family uses with a neighborhood commercial component and three neighborhood pocket parks. The storm water from the primary street was captured in bio-swales in the median of the central boulevard. More information about the community can be found here.
