All of those suggestions are good. I'd go with Ankeny if you want good parks, just due to the proximity of Saylorville. Ankeny might be a little cheaper than the Western suburbs, but I don't know that for a fact.

Pleasant Hill wouldn't be too bad either. Pretty much all of the suburbs offer what you're looking for.

All three meet your requirements. Finding a house for $230 in Clive might be a challenge, but seems reasonable in Ankeny or Waukee.

Ankeny will have the easiest commute to Downtown.

Ankeny sounds like it'd be a good fit for you.
