If you can't stop thinking of it, don't stop working for it... That's the new quote you will be greeted by when you walk into The Roundhouse. Pretty fitting, considering we are celebrating three years as a co-working space! Starting The Roundhouse 6 months prior to Covid was nothing short of a challenge, but our vision is what helped us persevere through the tough times, and it is what helps us stand strong today. We are so thankful for our co-working members who have helped bring our vision to life and continued supporting us even through all the unknowns. This little space has been through a lot within the past three years, but we are excited to see what the next three years have in store! |

"Living close to family is important to me. My husband and I both grew up in Southwest Iowa surrounded by family, and we knew we wanted that for our kids. Growing up in a small community taught me the importance of establishing meaningful relationships and the benefits of being connected to the community. We experience both of these in Creston. We enjoy being involved in the events hosted in Creston and the variety of activities for our kids. We also appreciate the simplicity of our small community." -Hannah West, Iowa State Savings Bank |
