Located at 1407 S Grand Ave in Ames, Iowa, this expansive single-story amenity center spans over 5,000 square feet and offers a thoughtfully designed collection of spaces for socializing, fitness, and relaxation. The entrance greets visitors with herringbone-patterned hardwood flooring, bold dark trim, and recessed lighting that sets an upscale yet inviting tone throughout. The centerpiece of the facility is a generously sized bar area featuring a long, dark-topped counter with leather bar stools, pendant lighting, and full service equipment. Adjacent lounge seating areas include bistro tables and chairs positioned beside floor-to-ceiling gridded windows overlooking an outdoor pool, allowing abundant natural light to fill the space. A cozy lounge room with a painted brick feature wall, a wood-burning fireplace, dual wall-mounted TVs, and herringbone hardwood flooring offers a comfortable gathering spot. Dramatic barn-style sliding doors connect this area to a bright sitting lounge furnished with plush sofas and accented by tall windows and chandelier lighting. The fitness facilities are divided across two rooms: one dedicated to free weights, benches, and functional training equipment, and a second outfitted with cable machines, a squat rack, and mirrored walls. Both rooms feature rubber flooring and dark-painted walls for a focused workout environment. A hallway connects all areas seamlessly throughout this well-appointed community amenity space.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
