Red Oak, Iowa Real Estate & Homes for Sale

Red Oak, IA is a one hour drive southeast of both Omaha and Council Bluffs. It is an attractive city with a beautiful main street and many charming, well-maintained homes that were built in the late 1800’S and early 1900’s. These properties reflect the growth in population, the wealth, and the expanding economy of that period. Red Oak’s position as the trade center of the area has remained steady and has made this a self-sustaining and popular place to live.

The school system also operates Right Start Pre-School, the Alternative High School, and the Red Oak Technology Center, a consortium of area colleges which hold classes at the high school. Southwest Community College also has a campus here.

Montgomery County Hospital provides the city and surrounding area with many in-patient and out- patient services. These include hospitalization and emergency care, physical therapy and cardiac rehab, educational classes, and offices for a family physician, an internist, and a general surgeon. Board certified physicians from larger cities rotate into a clinic for diagnosis and treatment in specific areas.

There are 10 churches in the city, a library and beautiful fine arts venues for concerts and art displays and classes. There are also numerous recreation and fitness facilities, including a YMCA, thirteen parks with ball diamonds, a swimming pool, trails and picnic facilities, a movie theater, a country club with an 18-hole golf course, pool, tennis courts, and full-service restaurant.
