Hubbell, Highmark Senior Living opens Edencrest at Kettlestone in Waukee 

Waukee, IA – Hubbell Realty Company has completed its eighth Edencrest™ senior living community with Edencrest at Kettlestone and welcomes the public to a grand opening on Thursday, June 27 from 4-7PM.   

Edencrest Living communities, which are managed by Hubbell’s Highmark Senior Living property management division, span across central Iowa. This $22 million community has 80 homes, – 40 assisted living homes, 20 memory care homes, and 20 independent living homes. This community is in the KeeTown Loop and rapidly expanding Kettlestone district, surrounded by walking trails, boutiques, and restaurants as well as music venues and surrounding Waukee housing communities.  

“We’re thrilled to open the newest location of Edencrest communities in Iowa’s fastest growing city. The success of our other communities demonstrates the ongoing need to take care of this generation,” said Casey Stephens, Regional Director of Operations for Highmark Senior Living. “Waukee was a natural next choice, especially in such a great location like the KeeTown Loop District and Grand Prairie Parkway, where not only will we see commercial, retail and office, but also additional multi-generational housing spur over the next 5-10 years.”  

As part of the Hubbell Realty Company portfolio, Edencrest communities provide quality senior living, assisted living and memory care services to older adults and their families. Edencrest communities offer studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom homes as well as numerous on-site amenities such as fitness centers, gathering spaces, barber shops as well as innovative care services. Edencrest at Kettlestone features numerous custom murals by artists Christina Hibert, as well as a general store, spa, family areas, and custom areas for resident interactions & events. 

 This is the eighth Edencrest community in the metro area, joining other locations at:  Edencrest™ at Beaverdale in Des Moines, Edencrest™ at Green Meadows in Johnston, Edencrest™ at The Legacy in Norwalk, Edencrest™ at Riverwoods on the Southside of Des Moines, Edencrest™ at Siena Hills in Ankeny, Edencrest at Timberline in Urbandale and Edencrest™ The Tuscany in Altoona.
