Woodward is a small Dallas County community with a storied history, including its association with the former Woodward State Hospital. Today the town offers affordable housing, a peaceful atmosphere, and proximity to the Des Moines River valley's natural beauty.
Woodward's Dallas County location on the flat Iowa prairie delivers punishing winter weather, with arctic blasts that push temperatures to -20F and seasonal blizzards that dump heavy snow across the community.
Woodward's older housing stock includes many homes from the early-to-mid twentieth century with original windows that are decades past their useful life. Modern triple-pane replacements offer these homeowners dramatically better insulation and meaningful reductions in heating expenses.

Our home in Woodward had double-pane windows from the 1970s that had all fogged over. Panes replaced them with crystal-clear triple-pane glass and the visual and thermal improvement is stunning. Our gas bill is noticeably lower. — Barb N., Academy Hill
