New Virginia is a small village in southern Warren County where the pace of life is governed by the seasons and the surrounding farmland. A few hundred residents call this quiet community home, valuing its deep agricultural roots and the genuine warmth of small-town Iowa living.
New Virginia's southern Warren County location brings some of the region's most varied winter conditions, from ice storms and freezing rain to extended cold snaps with temperatures dropping below -10F.
New Virginia's rural homes and farmsteads were built for practicality, not energy efficiency. Their original windows have deteriorated over the decades, and replacing them with modern triple-pane units provides critical insulation that keeps heating costs manageable through Iowa's long, cold winters.

Our old farmhouse near New Virginia was impossible to keep warm in winter. Panes replaced every window with triple-pane glass and the transformation is incredible. We use far less propane and the house is finally comfortable. — Howard P., Middle River Road
