Come visit downtown Le Mars, which most of us know it as, The Ice Cream Capitol Of The World! When you come down our Central Avenue you will find yourself greeted by our welcome sign hanging over Central! On this historic Avenue, you will find such a variety of shops, boutiques, jewelry store, candy shops, nail salon, office supply store, a yoga studio, 3 restaurants and our famous Ice Cream Parlor! South of the Central strip, you will our Art Center that has a beautiful display of old and new art and they also have a handful of classes to sign up for as well! As our city is growing we have so many great things to do and see here in Le Mars as we have walking/biking trails that travel behind our beautiful 18 hole Willow Creek Golf Course, Municipal Park and Shelter house equipped with plenty of parking your camper at for a few days or weeks, having fun on the tennis court, or playing some pickle ball on the court!! The job employment opportunities are phenomenal here from factory careers such as Blue Bunny, Kemps, Bo Deans Baking Co., Nor-Am Cold Storage to retail shops/stores/boutiques (too many to mention), to numerous fantastic schools (elementary to High School) and not to forget our ever expanding Floyd Valley Healthcare Hospital and clinics! We are home of the Plymouth County Fair, Ice Cream Days and the Fourth of July fireworks are also spectacular event to watch every year! Le Mars is expanding in housing as well and if you spend a day or two here, you will see why we love to call this place home!

Townhouses are multi-floor homes with shared walls, often with a small yard, and owners own both the interior and exterior, including the land. Condominiums (condos) are units within a larger building, where owners only own the interior, while common areas (hallways, gyms, pools) are shared. Townhouses usually have lower HOA fees but more maintenance, while condos have higher HOA fees but less upkeep since exterior maintenance is handled by the association.
