Now offering U-Tour self tours on select spec homes!
Ground Breaker Homes, in conjunction with Diligent Development, has developed a variety of single and multi-family subdivisions throughout Central Iowa. Our developments are carefully selected and planned to make the most of the natural landscape while giving homeowners a safe community in which to live.
Founded by our sister company, Diligent Development, Middlebrook integrates mixed-use neighborhoods, preserved farmland, and a pedestrian-centered town center featuring restored historic buildings like a timber‑frame barn and a one‑room 1900 schoolhouse turned into The Mercantile community hub.
With a mix of housing—single-family homes, townhomes, cottages, villas, estate lots (coming in future stages of the development)—and amenities like Wilson’s Orchard, Mayor Tom Becker Park, Middlebrook Meadow nature trails, and the Great Western Bike Trail, the development promotes sustainable, engaged living in harmony with agriculture.
Our low-maintenance townhomes offer affordable entry points in multiple communities around the Des Moines Metro.
