| Life in
Montezuma: The Best of Both
Worlds |
| Montezuma has the best
of both worlds.
This
warm, small town built on solid work ethics, firm handshakes
and friendly
smiles is located right in the middle of the most activity-filled
part of
the state, east-central Iowa. Eight miles south of Interstate 80
on U.S.
Highway 63, Montezuma is a mere hour east of Des
Moines’ shopping,
restaurants, shows, concerts, semi-pro athletics and more.
Montezuma is
also just an hour west of the art, culture, and history of our
state's Old
Capitol, Iowa City; home to the Big Ten
Conference’s University
of Iowa. The perfect way to enjoy big-city life without the
expensive cost
of living there. |
 |
While Montezuma’s
fast-access
location to two of Iowa’s
most exciting cities is a major draw, its safe, low-crime-rate,
everybody-knows-your-name,
atmosphere and focus on the family are Montezuma’s
hidden treasures.
With our K-12 school all of your school-aged children are in one
building,
which is easy and convenient for parents when taking kids to
and from the
many school-related functions and extracurricular activities the
school
offers. |
|
Some of these activities include football,
boys and girls basketball, boys baseball, girls softball, boys
and girls
track, speech club, drama club, band, choir, and much more.
It’s
your typical school, with the activities you remember
participating in
as a child, minus the violence and trouble many large
metropolitan areas
have to deal with. Take the family out to the football field on
fall Friday
nights and root for the Braves or plan a hunting trip with the
kids. |
 |
 |
Don’t let activities
slide just
because there’s
snow on the ground; take the gang out to Fun Valley ski area.
After hitting
the hills, treat your bunch with a rich cup of hot chocolate in
Fun Valley’s
full-service restaurant. Once school is out, soak in a beautiful
Montezuma
summer full of lemonade-sipping, fishing, and picnicing at
Diamond Lake.
Or fulfill a dream of living on a lake by
moving into one
of the gorgeous homes or quaint cottages that surround the
perimeter of
beautiful Lake Ponderosa. |
| Being the county seat of
Poweshiek county,
you
won’t have to travel to another town to have many of
the official
papers and documents taken care of when you move here;
just take care of
it on your lunch hour! |
 |
 |
Our warm, Iowa hospitality,
and our
fast-access to Iowa’s
two most exciting cities is sure to reel you in like the big bass
you'll
brag
about catching at Diamond Lake. Welcome to
Montezuma. |
