Altoona is currently in the midst of opening up a subdivision called Tuscan Estates — “a quiet country oasis”. (City regulation PDF) The development is near subdivisions or subsets of the subdivision called Tuscany and Tuscany Villas on, what else, Tuscany Drive. Says the website, “Tuscany is a Conservation Community, taking into account environmental principals and green spaces.” (The word they’re looking for is principles.)
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Des Moines metro area, there is Tuscany Village at Reed’s Crossing, a name that veritably oozes everything you think about the Dallas County portion of West Des Moines.
