About Shenandoah

Located in southwestern Iowa about an hour southeast of Omaha, Shenandoah is a welcoming small town with around 5,000 residents. The community was named for its rolling green hills that reminded early settlers of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. Today, it offers a peaceful pace of life, affordable neighborhoods, and a solid collection of local shops and dining options that make everyday living convenient.
