FEATURED PROJECT
Middlebrook Agrihood
CUMMING, IA
As Iowa’s first agrihood, Middlebrook leverages its agricultural past to cultivate future community. The development amenitizes 30% of its space towards common outdoor engagement including operating farms, gardens, hiking paths, bike trails, parks, detention features, restored native prairie, and more.
Residential
Middlebrook envisions living options for families at all stages of life. From rental apartments, to townhomes, to single-family homes, to zero-entry villas.
Commercial
Middlebrook Agrihood seamlessly integrates large scale commercial ventures next to locally-owned and operated restaurants and boutiques.
Agricultural
Middlebrook’s two acre farm is the centerpiece and community hub to the development. Community garden plots, Wilson’s Orchard, and the Middlebrook Meadow round-out our commitment to keeping Cumming’s agricultural past relevant.
